STS-133: Shuttle Discovery moves to VAB for final launch

At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, shuttle Discovery continues its move, known as "rollover," from Orbiter Processing Facility-3 to the nearby Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). Once inside the VAB, the shuttle will be joined to its solid rocket boosters and external fuel tank. Later this month, Discovery is scheduled to "rollout" to Launch Pad 39A for its launch to the International Space Station on the STS-133 mission. Targeted to liftoff Nov. 1, Discovery will take the Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2 (R2) to the station.

SPACE SHUTTLE - Let Me Out

NASA's Space Shuttle, officially called the Space Transportation System (STS), is the spacecraft currently used by the United States government for its human spaceflight missions and is scheduled to be retired from service in 2010. At launch, it consists of a rust-colored external tank (ET), two white, slender Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs), and the orbiter, a winged spaceplane which is the space shuttle in the narrowest sense. The orbiter carries astronauts and payload such as satellites or space station parts into low earth orbit, into the Earth's upper atmosphere or thermosphere.[1] Usually, five to seven crew members ride in the orbiter. The payload capacity is 22700 kilograms (50000 lb). When the orbiter's mission is complete it fires its Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) thrusters to drop out of orbit and re-enters the lower atmosphere.[1] During the descent, the shuttle orbiter decelerates from hypersonic speed primarily by aerobraking and then for the landing phase it acts as a glider, making a completely unpowered ("deadstick") landing. The Shuttle is the first orbital spacecraft designed for partial reusability. It carries payloads to low Earth orbit, provides crew rotation for the International Space Station (ISS), and performs servicing missions. The orbiter can also recover satellites and other payloads from orbit and return them to Earth. Each Shuttle was designed for a projected lifespan of 100 launches or 10 years' operational life. The man responsible for ...

Space Shuttle Endeavour IV

El Transbordador Espacial Endeavour despegó con éxito desde la plataforma de lanzamiento 39A de Cabo Cañaveral, en Florida el miércoles 8 de Agosto a las 22:36 GMT. Se inicia así la Misión número 22 con destino a la Estación Espacial Internacional. El Endeavour y sus siete tripulantes llegarán a la ISS el viernes 10 de Agosto, donde permanecerán una semana trabajando para continuar con la construcción del complejo orbital. Space Shuttle Endeavour during liftoff. Photo credit: NASA 08.08.07 - 7:35 pm EDT NASA's Administrator and top launch managers celebrated the flawless liftoff of Space Shuttle Endeavour Wednesday evening as the fulfillment of a legacy. "A launch operation doesn't get any better than this, it can't," Administrator Mike Griffin said following the launch. + View Launch Video The flight placed seven astronauts, a space station segment and 5800 pounds of cargo and supplies into orbit and on the way to the International Space Station. The 11-day mission calls for attachment of the space station segment, transfer of the cargo and supplies and a test of a new power transfer system. If the system works, the mission would be extended to 14 days. Teacher-turned-astronaut Barbara Morgan will also conduct several educational programs during the flight.
