Description Space shuttle Endeavour kicks up dust as it touches down on Runway 15 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to complete the 16-day, 6.5-million mile journey on the STS-127 mission to the International Space Station. Endeavour delivered the Japanese Experiment Module's Exposed Facility and the Experiment Logistics Module-Exposed Section to the International Space Station. The mission was the 29th flight to the station, the 23rd flight of Endeavour and the 127th in the Space Shuttle Program, as well as the 71st landing at Kennedy.

3/11/09
Description Lights around Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida bathe space shuttle Discovery after rollback of the rotating service structure. The rotating structure provides protected access to the shuttle for changeout and servicing of payloads at the pad. The rollback is in preparation for Discovery's liftoff on the STS-119 mission with a crew of seven. The mission is the 28th to the International Space Station and the 125th space shuttle flight. Discovery will deliver the final pair of power-generating solar array wings and the S6 truss segment. Installation of S6 will signal the station's readiness to house a six-member crew for conducting increased science. Image credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett March 11, 209

Description This illustration was used to develop a 3-D model of the space shuttle Columbia. The model was later used in a video to show where damage occurred on the leading edge of Columbia's wing. Engineers in NASA Glenn's Ballistics Impact Lab performed experiments that helped determine how foam from the external tank had caused the damage. Art by Eric Mindek (RS Information Systems, Inc.)

Description The afternoon sun casts shadows on space shuttle Endeavour's external fuel tank as workers remove the seal from the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate, or GUCP, on the tank. A hydrogen leak at the location during tanking for the STS-127 mission caused the launch attempts to be scrubbed on June 13 and June 17. The plate will be examined to determine the cause of the hydrogen leak. Then it will be repaired. June 24, 2009 Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller
