‎John F. Kennedy Space Center FL: National Aeronautics and Space Administration John F. Kennedy Space Center 2004. Presumed First Edition First printing. Single sheet printed on both sides. Very good. The format is approximately 17 inches by 11 inches. The sheet has been folded in half. Other than the NASA logo on each side there are no illustrations. This report covers the 113 Space Shuttle Launches from the Kennedy Space Center between 1981 and 2003. On each slide is a chronological listing of Space Shuttle Missions Operational Test Flights and Operational Flights. There is a Legend box identical on each side. Side one goes to STS 65 with some number gaps and the second side goes from STS-64 to STS-107. The information on each mission includes Mission number/name Crew Launch Date/Landing Date Orbiter Primary Payload and Launch Pad/Runway. The Space Shuttle is a retired partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated from 1981 to 2011 by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program. Its official program name was Space Transportation System STS taken from the 1969 plan led by U.S. Vice President Spiro Agnew for a system of reusable spacecraft where it was the only item funded for development. The first STS-1 of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981 leading to operational flights STS-5 beginning in 1982. Five complete Space Shuttle orbiter vehicles were built and flown on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011. They launched from the Kennedy Space Center KSC in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites interplanetary probes and the Hubble Space Telescope HST conducted science experiments in orbit participated in the Shuttle-Mir program with Russia and participated in the construction and servicing of the International Space Station ISS. The Space Shuttle fleet's total mission time was 1323 days. Space Shuttle components include the Orbiter Vehicle OV with three clustered Rocketdyne RS-25 main engines a pair of recoverable solid rocket boosters SRBs and the expendable external tank ET containing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Space Shuttle was launched vertically like a conventional rocket with the two SRBs operating in parallel with the orbiter's three main engines which were fueled from the ET. The SRBs were jettisoned before the vehicle reached orbit while the main engines continued to operate and the ET was jettisoned after main engine cutoff and just before orbit insertion which used the orbiter's two Orbital Maneuvering System OMS engines. At the conclusion of the mission the orbiter fired its OMS to deorbit and reenter the atmosphere. The orbiter was protected during reentry by its thermal protection system tiles and it glided as a spaceplane to a runway landing usually to the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC Florida or to Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards Air Force Base California. If the landing occurred at Edwards the orbiter was flown back to the KSC atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft SCA a specially modified Boeing 747 designed to carry the shuttle above it. The first orbiter Enterprise was built in 1976 and used in Approach and Landing Tests ALT but had no orbital capability. Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia Challenger Discovery and Atlantis. Of these two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003 with a total of 14 astronauts killed. A fifth operational and sixth in total orbiter Endeavour was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The three surviving operational vehicles were retired from service following Atlantis's final flight on July 21 2011. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, John F.

‎Space Shuttle: Orbiter Processing From Landing To Launch; NASA Facts FS-2005-06-018-KSC‎

‎Kennedy Space Center FL: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Kennedy Space Center 2005. Presumed First Edition probably a reprint since illustrations are black and white. Staplebound. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 8 pages. Illustrations. The work of preparing a space shuttle for flight takes place primarily at the Launch Complex 39 Area. The process actually begins at the end of each flight with a landing at the center or after landing at an alternate site the return of the orbiter atop a shuttle carrier aircraft. Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility is the primary landing site. There are now three orbiters in the shuttle fleet: Discovery Atlantis and Endeavour. Challenger was destroyed in an accident in January 1986. Columbia was lost during approach to landing in February 2003. Each orbiter is processed independently using the same facilities. Inside is a description of an orbiter processing flow. The launch countdown begins at the T-43 hour mark about three days before launch. Launch control personnel arrive at their stations in the firing room and begin checking out the flight systems and flight software stored in mass memory units. Display systems are also reviewed. At T-27 hours a scheduled built-in hold is entered. A test of the vehicle's pyrotechnic initiator controllers is performed. When the countdown resumes cryogenic reactants are loaded into the orbiter's fuel cell storage tanks. At T-19 hours another hold allows demating of the orbiter mid-body umbilical unit. The sound suppression system water tank is filled and orbiter and ground support equipment closeouts resume. After the count is resumed the three main engines are prepared for main propellant tanking and flight. At T-11 hours a third built-in hold gives the launch team a chance to catch up on any unfinished preparations and to troubleshoot any vehicle or ground support equipment problems that may be a constraint to launch. If no problems or delays are encountered at the end of the T-11 hour hold the countdown continues. The RSS is rolled back and the orbiter is ready for fuel cell activation and external tank cryogenic propellant loading operations. The pad is cleared to the perimeter gate for operations to fill the external tank with about 500000 gallons of cryogenic propellants used by the shuttle's main engines. This is done at the pad approximately eight hours before the scheduled launch. Liquid oxygen is transferred to the external tank by pumps capable of pumping 1300 gallons per minute. The liquid vaporizes and is transferred to the external tank using pressure created by the hydrogen itself. Pumps are not needed. The final hours of the count include crew ingress crew module and white room closeout final computer and software configurations final readiness polls of the launch team terminal sequencing and finally liftoff.

‎Space Shuttle Spinoffs NASA Poster; NP-2009-04-575-HQ‎

‎Washington DC: National Astronautics and Space Administration 2009. Presumed First Edition First printing. This is one of multiple originals issued. Poster. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is a single sheet with printing/imagery on both sides in a plastic sleeve. On the front side is a large color photograph of the space shuttle central fuel tank and solid rocket boosters on a launch pad at night. On the reverse there are 10 vignettes with images and texts discussing the following spinoffs Artificial Heart Rescue Tool Life-Saving Light Automotive Insulation Land Mine Removal Device Green Lubricants Firefighting Infrared Cameras Home Insulation Prosthesis Material and Video Stabilization Software. After years of development and decades of flying the now-cancelled space shuttle program has left more to future generations than pieces for museums and fond memories of exploration. Its legacy lives on in an artificial heart device NASCAR racing cars and rescue tools used to reach car accident victims. The entire array of NASA technology spinoffs could even be greater than the number of spinoffs from the Apollo moon missions. Whether or not the space shuttle program was worth its $209 billion price tag remains a separate debate for human spaceflight advocates and critics. But NASA's official count of tech spinoffs that went on to become commercial products suggests that many people on Earth have seen benefits from the shuttle's human spaceflight program. "People always think of NASA's heyday as the Apollo era but the shuttle has produced about 50 percent more spinoffs than the Apollo era" said Daniel Lockney technology transfer program executive at NASA headquarters in Washington D.C. The shuttle spawned roughly 120 commercialized spinoffs versus about 80 for the Apollo program Lockney said. That's in part because the shuttle program ran for three decades as opposed to Apollo's one decade but also because NASA created a more formalized system for spinning off innovations after the Apollo era. One case emerged just as NASA was designing the space shuttle during the energy crisis of the 1970s. Per government request the space agency tried redesigning boxy semi-trailer trucks to become more aerodynamic so that they could save on fuel. Shortly after NASA showed off its prototype design the trucking industry chose to debut its own sleeker designs. "If you ask the trucking industry if it took these designs from NASA you'll categorically get a no" Lockney said. "But a year or two after NASA's tour you see a sea change in the industry." More recently NASA supercomputers that had simulated fluid flow in shuttle rocket engines helped model the flow of blood in a tiny battery-powered heart pump just 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. The resulting changes led to the MicroMed DeBakey VAD device that keeps blood pumping through the hearts of ill patients awaiting heart transplants. Leftover rocket fuel from the space shuttle launches has gone into flare devices that disable or destroy land mines. And material that protects the space shuttle from the fierce heat of re-entry has helped protect NASCAR drivers from the engine heat of their racing cars. Even the explosive devices that separate the shuttle from its rocket boosters have become miniaturized for use in a more lightweight "Jaws of Life" device a tool that rescue squads use to cut into car wrecks and reach accident victims. "It's important to recognize that these aren't the primary missions of NASA" Lockney said. "If you wanted to create a heart pump building a rocket that will launch it into space wouldn't be the practical way to go about it." National Astronautics and Space Administration unknown‎

‎Space Shuttle Mission STS-132 Finishing Touches; Press Kit May 2010‎

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2010. Xerox-style reproduction. Assume relatively few copies made for media representatives. Stapled at upper left corner. Very good. ii 104 pages plus front cover. No rear cover. Illustrations. Three-hole punched. Logo of the United Space Alliance on the front cover. Includes STS-132/ULF4 Mission Overview; STS-132 Timeline Overview; Mission Profile; Mission Objectives; Mission Personnel; STS-132 Crew; Payload Overview; Rendezvous & Docking; Spacewalks; Experiments; History of Space Shuttle Atlantis; Shuttle Reference Data; Launch and Landing; Acronmyns and Abbreviations; Media Assistance; Public Affairs Contacts. STS-132 ISS assembly flight ULF4 was a NASA Space Shuttle mission during which Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the International Space Station on May 16 2010. STS-132 was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on May 14 2010. The primary payload was the Russian Rassvet Mini-Research Module along with an Integrated Cargo Carrier-Vertical Light Deployable ICC-VLD. Atlantis landed at the Kennedy Space Center on May 26 2010. STS-132 was initially scheduled to be the final flight of Atlantis provided that the STS-335/STS-135 Launch On Need rescue mission would not be needed. However in February 2011 NASA declared that the final mission of Atlantis and of the Space Shuttle program STS-135 would be flown regardless of the funding situation. Also on board Atlantis was a 4-inch long wood sample of Sir Isaac Newton's apple tree. The piece from the original tree that supposedly inspired Newton's theory of gravity along with a picture of Newton were taken into orbit by astronaut Piers Sellers. The wood is part of the collection of the Royal Society archives in London and was returned there following the flight. Additionally a flag from Clarkson University Potsdam New York flew on board shuttle Atlantis. It was there in honor of STS-132 lead shuttle flight director Michael L. Sarafin who is an alumnus of the Clarkson University. The STS-132 mission patch was designed by NASA artist Sean Collins working with astronaut Garrett Reisman. The patch shows Atlantis flying towards a sunset landing with the names of the STS-132 astronauts around the border. During the standard post-flight inspection of Atlantis a United Space Alliance inspector found a STS-132 mission decal accompanied by an inscription "The first last flight of Atlantis left Earth on 14 May 2010 from Pad 39A" together with the crew's signatures. The worker had found it tucked away on the upper side of Locker A-16 while scanning the area with a mirror. Moreover he said the note must have been written in orbit since otherwise the author would have had to stand on their head to write it. At the time the note was written STS-132 was the last planned mission of Atlantis. However one further mission was ultimately approved for the shuttle: STS-135 which was to be the last flight of both Atlantis and the Space Shuttle program.
