| Description |
STS-72 Commander Brian Duffy returns to Florida, looking forward to the first Shuttle flight of 1996. Duffy and a crew of five are scheduled to lift off aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on January 11 during an approximately 49-minute launch window opening at 4:18 am EST. The astronauts flew into KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility from Johnson Space Center, Houston, not too long after the countdown clock began ticking toward the 74th Shuttle liftoff. STS-72 will be Duffy's third Shuttle flight and his first as commander. |

A cold snap in Florida can't cool the enthusiasm of the STS-72 astronauts regarding their upcoming spaceflight. The six-member crew arrived at KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility the same day the countdown clock began ticking toward a January 11 liftoff at approximately 4:18 am EST, warmer weather is forecast with generally favorable conditions expected around the time of launch. Addressing news media gathered for their arrival is Mission Commander Brian Duffy, behind him are, from left, Mission Specialists Winston E. Scott, Leroy Chiao, Dr. Daniel T. Barry, and Kiochi Wakata (who represents the National Space Agency of Japan) and Pilot Brent W. Jett Jr. The flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-72 will mark the beginning of this year's Shuttle launch schedule. |

STS-92 - Discovery Fly-away - return to Florida |
| Description |
Carrying the Space Shuttle Discovery piggyback, one of NASA's modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft lifts off the runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The Discovery was ferried from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 2, 2000, after extensive post-landing servicing and ferry flight preparations. STS-92 was the 100th mission since the fleet of four Space Shuttles began flying in 1981. (Due to schedule changes, missions are not always launched in the order that was originally planned.) The almost 13-day mission, the 46th Shuttle mission to land at Edwards, was the last construction mission for the International Space Station prior to the first scientists taking up residency in the orbiting space laboratory the following month. The seven-member crew on STS-92 included mission specialists Koichi Wakata, Michael Lopez-Alegria, Jeff Wisoff, Bill McArthur and Leroy Chiao, pilot Pam Melroy and mission commander Brian Duffy. |

| Description |
One of NASA's two modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is bathed in the morning Sun at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards, California. The modified jumbo jetliners are used to ferry the Space Shuttle orbiters between Dryden and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and Boeing's Reusable Space Systems modification facility at Palmdale, California. Features which distinguish the two SCAs from standard 747 jetliners are three struts, with associated interior structural strengthening, which protrude from the top of the fuselage (two aft, one forward) on which the orbiter is attached, and two additional vertical stabilizers, one on each end of the standard horizontal stabilizer, to enhance directional stability. All interior furnishings and equipment aft of the forward No. 1 doors have also been removed to reduce weight. The two SCAs are under the operational control of NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. STS-92 was the 100th mission since the fleet of four Space Shuttles began flying in 1981. (Due to schedule changes, missions are not always launched in the order that was originally planned.)

Space Shuttle Atlantis landed at 12:33 p.m. February 20, 2001, on the runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California, where NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center is located. The mission, which began February 7, logged 5.3 million miles as the shuttle orbited earth while delivering the Destiny science laboratory to the International Space Station. Inclement weather conditions in Florida prompted the decision to land Atlantis at Edwards. The last time a space shuttle landed at Edwards was Oct. 24, 2000. |

Pictured are The Boeing Co. processing team and STS-92 astronauts. The Z-1 Truss is the cornerstone truss of the International Space Station and is scheduled to fly in Space Shuttle Discovery's payload pay on STS-92 targeted for launch Oct. 5, 2000. The Z-1 is considered a cornerstone truss because it carries critical components of the Station's attitude, communications, thermal and power control systems as well as four control moment gyros, high and low gain antenna systems, and two plasma contactor units used to disperse electrical charge build-ups. The Z-1 truss and a Pressurized Mating Adapter (PMA-3), also flying to the Station on the same mission, will be the first major U.S. elements flown to the ISS aboard the Shuttle since the launch of the Unity element in December 1998 |
