Graphic design credit: NASA/Amy Lombardo. The aft skirt at the base of the left solid rocket booster made its first flight in 1982 on STS-3, the third flight of the space shuttle program. Five orbiter tributes are on display in the firing room, representing Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Endeavour and Discovery. Prior to being provided by NASA to the California Science Center for use with Endeavours exhibit, the two aft skirts now installed were used in the launch of 15 space shuttle missions. The background image was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope and signifies the first shuttle servicing mission, which was performed by Endeavour’s STS-61 crew.Ĭrew-designed patches from Endeavour’s maiden voyage through its final mission are shown ascending toward the stars. Clockwise from top, are the first-ever use of a drag chute during the STS-49 landing, rollout to a launch pad, a ferry flight return to Kennedy, rolling into an orbiter processing facility, docking to the International Space Station, and lifting operations before being mated to an external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters in the Vehicle Assembly Building. The Cupola, delivered to the International Space Station by Endeavour on STS-130, frames various images that represent the processing and execution of the Space Shuttle Program. It features Endeavour soaring into orbit above the sailing vessel HMS Endeavour for which it was named. 30, the shuttle will be on display in the science center’s Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion, embarking on its new mission to commemorate past achievements in space and educate and inspire future generations of explorers. This is a printable version of space shuttle Endeavour’s orbiter tribute, or OV-105, which hangs in Firing Room 4 of the Launch Control Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
