Credit: Mike Deepįor me, standing on the astronauts flight deck was like being transported to the bridge of the “Starship Enterprise” – but this was real, not science fiction. Pictured above is the flight deck of Space Shuttle Endeavour, the youngest shuttle and the second to last ever launched. I was at last standing on the “Starship Endeavour” and this was the closest I ever felt to being in space. The blue display screens used by the Shuttle Commander and Pilot were real, lit and vividly moving before my eyes, dials were active and shining and multitudes of critical gauges lined the cabin all over from front to back, left to right, top to bottom. Flight Deck of Space Shuttle Endeavour Powered up for the final time. Shuttle Commander seat at left, Shuttle Pilot seat at right. Credit: Ken Kremer/Endeavour was the youngest in NASA’s fleet of three surviving orbiters and designated as vehicle OV-105. OV-105 will be demated from the Boeing aircraft, and towed to the Vehicle Assembly Building for installation of several major flight components. The renovations to Independences interior will be finished before the mockup is placed on top of the carrier aircraft, known by its tail number, NASA 905. She flew 25 missions over a spaceflight career that spanned 19 years from the inaugural flight in 1992 to the final flight in 2011 to deliver the dark matter hunting Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) to the International Space Station ( ISS). The newest addition to the Space Shuttle orbiter fleet, Endeavour, arrives at KSC atop the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft on May 7.

Altogether, Endeavour spent 299 days in space, orbited the Earth 4671 times and traveled over 197 million kilometers (123 million mi).Įndeavour’s power termination on comes almost exactly one year since her final launch on the 16 day long STS-134 mission on May 16, 2011. STS-118 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by the orbiter Endeavour.STS-118 lifted off on August 8, 2007, from launch pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida and landed at the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC on August 21, 2007. It was the last of the three space shuttles to have power. This Mini pack contains 2 Parts : Mk3 Shuttle RCS nose cone, Mk3 Airliner CockpitThis mod will be dedicated to Mk3 parts, in long term more parts could be added.Currently the cockpits IVA is WIP similar to stock mk3 cockpit, aswell as light option.I modelled the Nose cone from space shuttle ende. Since then technicians have been removing hazardous materials and propellants from the orbiters hydraulic and fuel lines and thoroughly cleansing Endeavour to make it safe for museum display to the general public. Endeavour was powered down for the final time in history. The power must be on to drain and purge the toxic materials.

The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.This week I watched as technicians removed components of Endeavours fuel lines from the aft compartments that might possibly be reused at some future date inside NASA’s new Heavy Lift rocket, dubbed the SLS or Space Launch System. Space Shuttle Columbia (OV-102) was a Space Shuttle orbiter manufactured by Rockwell International and operated by NASA.
