Closer look at Orbiter Atlantis OV-104 nose gear doors as it approached the International Space Station and performed a back-flip to accommodate close scrutiny by eyeballs and cameras in 2007. #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Orbiter Endeavour OV-105 landing for the final time on the Shuttle Landing Facility's Runway 15 at KSC, marking the 25th night landing of NASA's Space Shuttle Program in 2011. #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is a single engine orbital maneuvering system (OMS) firing on the Orbiter Discovery OV-103 in 1985. The payload bay is open and the protective canisters for the AUSSAT communications satellite and the ASC-1 are visible. #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

A look at Orbiter Discovery OV-103’s underside nosecone thermal protection tiles during STS-114. Part of the P1 truss and a solar array are visible in the background of the International Space Station. Newer thermal tiles are black and older ones are gray. #spaceshuttle #nasa

Year 1 shoots became official Wonderdome space explorers. They learnt about the different missions that had taken place in space and what the plans for the future missions are. #spaceday #spaceshuttle #artemis

about 26 heat shield tiles on the shuttle's left wing. #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Most people don’t realize this… space shuttles didn’t land in the ocean. They came back like a glider…with ONE shot to land. #space #nasa #spaceshuttle #aviation #science

Val and Bill died after I looked away to tweet this. #spaceshuttle next

Built my first working plane on my new ksp save!!! #spaceshuttle is next!!!!

#OTD 4/29/2990: #SpaceShuttle Discovery touched down at @EdwardsAFB after deploying @NASAHubble A successful conclusion to a vital chapter in space exploration: nasa.gov/image-article/… @HUBBLE_space @HubbleTelescope @NASA @esa #space #spaceexploration #astronomy

Even wat ruimte creëren in mijn werkkamer. Ik vond nog dit schilderij wat ik maakte n.a.v. van de ramp met de #Challenger #Spaceshuttle. Het is overigens nog te koop. Olieverf op doek. 😎 #kunst

The fuselage arrived in 3 chunks: forward, mid, and aft. The aft housed the stabilizer and engines, the mid held wings and a payload bay, and the front had the crew compartment. Over 27,000 silica tiles protected it all. #SpaceShuttle #Aerospace

We are continuing our exploration of the @NASA #SpaceShuttle's complex systems with a close look at an emergency propellant transfer. youtu.be/gJpuB6dQ8Tk

#OTD 4/27/2012: #SpaceShuttle #Enterprise arrived in NYC atop a @NASA Aircraft. It flew over all 5 boroughs and past many #NYC landmarks, including the #StatueOfLiberty and @CentralParkNYC. It landed at @JFKairport before making its journey to its new home at the @IntrepidMuseum.

Before the shuttle, a new rocket was built for each mission. The Orbiter was designed for reusability, with NASA flying 5 orbiters. Sadly, Challenger and Columbia were lost. The remaining 4 are now in museums. #SpaceHistory #NASA #SpaceShuttle

Build a space shuttle at your desk! 🚀 Modular Space Shuttle from Mind Meets Creation: assemble orbiter, tank, SRBs with threaded connections. Customize, display, integrate. #BuildARocket #SpaceShuttle #ModularRocket #NASAInspiration #3DPrinting #STEMKit

The Space Shuttle wasn't just for space walks! It launched satellites like Hubble and delivered modules for the ISS. Some missions even turned its bay into a lab with Spacelab, letting astronauts float to different sections. #SpaceShuttle #NASAHistory

Did you know before the Shuttle, every spacecraft was single-use? The Shuttle changed that—flying into orbit, landing on a runway, and getting prepped to launch again. It was the world’s first reusable spacecraft. Pre-order now: ow.ly/WIrQ50X8k9u 👈 #Airfix #SpaceShuttle

Here is an example of the size of the drag chute for the Space Shuttle, it had a 40ft diameter. Here is Orbiter Columbia OV-102 touching down at the Cape. #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is NASA 905 747SCA with Orbiter Discovery OV-103 on top preparing to take off from KSC in 2012. #747sca #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

#ThisDayInSpace: In 19, 2000, the #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis launched with the very first "glass cockpit." This was one of several big upgrades that were made to the space shuttle before the mission STS-101. #spacenews #space #perthnews #wanews #communitynews #OTD #nasa

Per request, here is the mate-demate gantry at Edwards AFB with Orbiter OV-105 Endeavour being mated to the 747SCA in 2008 for return to KSC. #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Orbiter Enterprise OV-101 sure got around, here she is in 1978 being hoisted into the Marshal Dynamic Test Stand for the mated vertical ground vibration test. #enterprise #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is Orbiter Atlantis OV-104 in the Orbiter Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, prior to STS-125. It gives a good close up of the tiles around the windows. #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

About Keith 2/14 I lived in Florida during the Shuttle era—watched launches, heard the double sonic booms on landing. A reusable spaceplane made space feel close. #SERASpace @seraspaceage #SpaceShuttle #KeifferToSpace

#SpaceX #SpaceShuttle #NASA #DOGE The White House Oval Office, Sean Duffy, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn want to spend $150 to $200 million dollars moving Space Shuttle Discovery from the National Air and Space Museum to a new building in Houston. Why? Houston, we've got a problem.
