Space Shuttle Endeavour STS-130 Landing

This landing ends a almost 14-day mission to the International Space Station. Space Shuttle Endeavour and its crew installed a new module, called Tranquility, and a cupola on the orbital outpost. Landing took place at Feb. 21 at 22:20ET. The Shuttle touched down on runway 15 of the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center. Endeavour stayed docked with the ISS for 9 days, giving the Station a room with a view. This mission featured 3 spacewalks and was the first one of the year. It marks the 130th Shuttle mission and the 32nd to the ISS. It was Endeavours 24th mission.

Space Shuttle Atlantis STS 101 Landing

"""QUESTION""" DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE ARE WHEELBRAKES ON THIS SIM, AND IF SO, HOW DO YOU USE THEM? IF YOU KNOW PUT A COMMENT BELOW. THANKS. Me landing the Atlantis Orbiter on Orbiter Space Flight Simulator (free). I now know that when using FRAPS it records all audio played during recording, which happened to be the first STS 125 spacewalk I was listening to in my browser. So that is what you can hear as background radio chatter. Whoops. And don't tell me, I know the flying isn't the best, but I thought it was a good landing. Guided in using the Saitek X45 flightstick/throttle combo. Free game download here: orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk

Space & Aviation -100 Years of Exploration, Purdue Universit

Purdue University is a leading pioneer in the amazing promise of space exploration. It has produced so many astronauts that it is called the Home of the astronauts. It has produced 22 graduates selected as NASA astronauts. Neil Armstrong was the world's first to set foot on the mood and and Eugene Cernan was the last. Purdue alumni have flown on more than one-third of all manned US flights. Gus Grissom flew in Project Mercury in 1961; Neil Armstrong, Eugene Cernan, and Grissom in the Gemini program in 1965 and 1966; and Armstrong and Cernan in the Apollo program from 1969 to 1972. One of the original seven NASA astronauts, Virgil Gus Grissom made a 15-minute suborbital flight aboard the Mercury 4 capsule on July 21, 1961, which made him the second American in space. Grissom, fellow Purdue alumnus Roger Chaffee, and Ed White made the ultimate sacrifice when a flash fire consumed their Apollo 1 capsule during a simulated launch at Cape Kennedy, Florida on January 27, 1967. When the space shuttle came into use, Charles Walker, in 1984, served as payload specialist on Discovery. John Blaha, in 1996, and David Wolf, in 1997, were two of the seven Americans who flew on the Russian space station Mir. One of the two female Purdue astronauts, Janice Voss served on STS-99, Endeavour, in February 2000 on the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, which was done to mapp more than 47 million miles of the Earth's land surface. Mary Ellen Weber was both a medical officer and a primary ...

Buran OMS Engine & Thruster Testing

The Buran spacecraft was the only fully completed and operational space shuttle vehicle from the Soviet Buran program. With a design that borrowed heavily from the NASA Space Shuttle, the Buran completed one unmanned spaceflight in 1988 before cancellation of the Soviet shuttle program in 1993. The Buran was subsequently destroyed by a hangar collapse in 2002. Like its NASA counterpart, the Buran, when in transit from its landing sites back to the launch complex, was transported on the back of a large jet aeroplane. It was piggy-backed on the Antonov An-225 Mriya aircraft, which was designed for this task and remains the largest aircraft in the world. Several shuttles were produced. One of those, the OK-GLI, was modified to fly with jet engines for aerodynamic testing. One painted mock shuttle (the former static test-article OK-TVA) is now a ride simulating space flight in Gorky Park, Moscow. The OK-GLI was sold by its owner NPO Energia, shipped to Sydney in Australia and subsequently displayed at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Shortly after, the new owner went bankrupt and the OK-GLI shuttle then went to Bahrain for a number of years while legal ownership status was in dispute. The Sydney/Bahrain (OK-GLI) shuttle was acquired by the German Technikmuseum Speyer in 2004,[2] and has been transported to the museum, where it is exhibited to the general public.

STS-126 Endeavour Delivers a Station "Makeover" Resume Mission (Nov 2008)

Space shuttle Endeavour lifted off on its STS-126 mission at 7:55 pm Eastern time November 14, 2008, rising into the night sky above NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch Commentator Candrea Thomas: Booster ignition and liftoff of space shuttle Endeavour, preparing our home in space for a larger, international family. The astronauts on board embarked on a 16-day mission to provide an "extreme home makeover" to the International Space Station, with improvements inside and out to support a six-person resident crew beginning next year. Commanded by Chris Ferguson, the flight crew included Pilot Eric Boe and Mission Specialists Steve Bowen, Shane Kimbrough, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Don Pettit. Mission Specialist Sandra Magnus replaced outgoing station flight engineer Greg Chamitoff, who lived aboard the outpost since June as part of the STS-124 mission. Endeavour caught up with the station on flight day three, completing a slow backflip below the orbiting laboratory to allow an up-close look at the shuttle's protective skin. The two vehicles linked up minutes later as the pair flew 212 miles above northern India, near the China border. Endeavour carried the Leonardo reusable cargo carrier, packed with about 14500 pounds of new station hardware, including additional sleeping compartments, exercise equipment, a second toilet, kitchen equipment and a water recycling system. The recycling system's Urine Processor Assembly, which will convert wastewater to clean ...
