The space shuttle Endeavour - The space shuttle Endeavour - The space shuttle Endeavour installed on a Boeing 747 (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft) arrives at the Houston Space Center. At the end of the STS-126 mission, the space shuttle landed in California on 30 November 2008 and is scheduled to be brought back to Florida. 11 December 2008. The Space Shuttle Endeavour flies over the Clear Lake area and the Johnson Space Center after having spent the night at a stopover in Tarrant County; while mounted on a modified Boeing 747 shuttle carrier aircraft. Endeavour landed in California on Nov. 30 (STS - 126) and was en route back to Florida. December 11 2008
Space Debris - Space Debris - The tool bag used by astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn - Piper floats in space. On the first extravehicular exit of the STS - 126 mission on 18 November 2008, the astronaut let him escape, becoming a space debris. 18 Nov. 2008 - An extravehicular activity (EVA) tool bag drifts away from the International Space Station during the mission's first scheduled spacewalk for STS - 126. About halfway into the spacewalk, one of the grease guns that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn - Piper (out of frame), mission specialist, was preparing to use on the SARJ released some Braycote grease into her crew lock bag, which is the tool bag the spacewalkers use during their activities. As she was cleaning the inside of the bag, it drifted away from her and toward the aft and starboard portion of the International Space Station. Inside the bag were two grease guns, scrapers, several wipes and tethers and some tool caddies

International Space Station: Astronaut Exit - The International Space Station: EVA Astronaut - Astronaut Steve Bowen participates in the first extravehicular exit of the STS-126 mission with Heidemarie Stefanyshyn - Piper (off-field) on November 18, 2008. For nearly seven hours, astronauts will perform various maintenance tasks of the International Space Station. 18 Nov. 2008 - Astronaut Steve Bowen, STS - 126 mission specialist, participates in the mission's first session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction and maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the six - hour, 52 - minute spacewalk, Bowen and astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn - Piper (out of frame), mission specialist, worked to clean and lubricate part of the station's starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joints (SARJ) and to remove two of SARJ's 12 trundle bearing assemblies. The spacewalkers also removed a depleted nitrogen tank from a stowage platform on the outside of the complex and moved it into Endeavour's cargo bay. They also moved a flex hose rotary coupler from the shuttle to the station stowage platform, as well as removing some insulation blankets from the common berthing mechanism on the Kibo laboratory

During the six - hour, 57 - minute spacewalk, Bowen and astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn - Piper (out of frame), mission specialist, focused their efforts on the continued cleaning of the station's starboard solar alpha rotary joint (SARJ) and the removal and replacement of trundle bearing assemblies (TBA). Bowen and Piper also cleaned the area around the Sarj's drive lock assemblies, which help the joint to rotate and lock into place. Earth's horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene. Nov 22, 2008

Space Shuttle Atlantis landing 07/2011 - Space Shuttle Atlantis landing 07/2011 - Space Shuttle Atlantis lands at the Kennedy Space Center on July 21, 2011. Last space shuttle mission. Space shuttle Atlantis (STS - 135) touches down at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF), completing its 13 - day mission to the International Space Station (ISS) and the final flight of the Space Shuttle Program, early Thursday morning, July 21, 2011, in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Overall, Atlantis spent 307 days in space and traveled nearly 126 million miles during its 33 flights. Atlantis, the fourth orbiter built, launched on its first mission on Oct. 3, 1985
Two space shuttles on fire pads. 09/2008 - Two Space Shuttles on launch pads. 09/2008 - View of shooting steps A and B from the Kennedy Space center in Florida on September 20, 2008. In the foreground, the shuttle Atlantis, in the background, the shuttle Endeavour on firing pad B. This is the first time since July 2001 that two shuttles have been simultaneously on the firing steps. The shuttle Endeavour was ready to assist the shuttle Atlantis for a rescue mission in case of a problem. Finally, the planned flight of the Atlantis shuttle (STS-125, repair of the Hubble satellite) was postponed until May 2009. The shuttle Endeavour collapsed in November 2008 to continue the construction of the international space station (mission STS-126). With a rainbow serving as a backdrop in the sky, space shuttle Atlantis (foreground) sits on Launch Pad A and Endeavour on Launch Pad B at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At the left of each shuttle are the open rotating service structures with the payload changeout rooms revealed. The rotating service structures provide protection for weather and access to the shuttle. For the first time since July 2001, two shuttles are on the launch pads at the same time at the center. Endeavour will stand by at pad B in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary during space shuttle Atlantis' upcoming mission to repair Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope (STS - 125), targeted to launch Oct. 10. After Endeavour is cleared from its duty as a rescue spacecraft, it will be moved to Launch Pad 39A for its STS - 126 mission to the International Space Station (launched in November 2008). STS - 125 has been delayed to 2009

After Endeavour is cleared from its duty as a rescue spacecraft, it will be moved to Launch Pad 39A for its STS - 126 mission to the International Space Station (launched in November 2008). STS - 125 has been delayed to 2009
Two space shuttles on fire pads. 09/2008 - Two Space Shuttles on launch pads. 09/2008 - View of shooting steps A and B from the Kennedy Space center in Florida on September 20, 2008. In the foreground, the shuttle Atlantis, in the background, the shuttle Endeavour on firing pad B. This is the first time since July 2001 that two shuttles have been simultaneously on the firing steps. The shuttle Endeavour was ready to assist the shuttle Atlantis for a rescue mission in case of a problem. Finally, the planned flight of the Atlantis shuttle (STS-125, repair of the Hubble satellite) was postponed until May 2009. The shuttle Endeavour collapsed in November 2008 to continue the construction of the international space station (mission STS-126). Space shuttle Atlantis (foreground) sits on Launch Pad A and Endeavour on Launch Pad B at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At the left of each shuttle are the open rotating service structures with the payload changeout rooms revealed. The rotating service structures provide protection for weather and access to the shuttle. For the first time since July 2001, two shuttles are on the launch pads at the same time at the center. Endeavour will stand by at pad B in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary during space shuttle Atlantis' upcoming mission to repair Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope (STS - 125), targeted to launch Oct. 10. After Endeavour is cleared from its duty as a rescue spacecraft, it will be moved to Launch Pad 39A for its STS - 126 mission to the International Space Station (launched in November 2008). STS - 125 has been delayed to 2009
