CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Crews guide NASA's MAVEN spacecraft, inside a payload fairing, into place atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41. The Atlas V will lift MAVEN into space and on to Mars. MAVEN is short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-2013-3896
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the STS-133 payload canister approaches Launch Pad 39A where it will be lifted into the rotating service structure. The payload then will be moved into space shuttle Discovery's payload bay. Discovery and its STS-133 crew will deliver the Permanent Multipurpose Module, packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2, the dexterous humanoid astronaut helper, to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for 4:40 p.m. EDT, Nov. 1. Photo credit: NASA/Amanda Diller KSC-2010-5008
An olivaceous cormorant soars in the cloud-streaked sky near the Space Shuttle Discovery as it waits for liftoff on mission STS-103. To the left of Discovery is the Rotating Service Structure, rolled back on Dec. 16 in preparation for launch. At right is a 290-foot-high water tank with a capacity of 300,000 gallons. The tank is part of the sound suppression water system used during launch. The STS-103 mission, to service the Hubble Space Telescope, is scheduled for launch Dec. 17 at 8:47 p.m. EST from Launch Pad 39B. Mission objectives include replacing gyroscopes and an old computer, installing another solid state recorder, and replacing damaged insulation in the telescope. The mission is expected to last about 8 days and 21 hours. Discovery is expected to land at KSC Sunday, Dec. 26, at about 6:25 p.m. EST KSC-99pp1439
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Atlantis is transported along NASA Causeway at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on its 10-mile journey to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where it will be put on public display. As part of transition and retirement of the Space Shuttle Program, Atlantis is to be displayed at Kennedy's Visitor Complex beginning in the summer of 2013. Over the course of its 26-year career, Atlantis traveled 125,935,769 miles during 307 days in space over 33 missions.

Zusammenfassung
Space Shuttle Columbia am Startplatz. (Nr.: 81-HC-5)
Das Space-Shuttle-Programm war von 1981 bis 2011 das bemannte Trägerprogramm der US-Regierung, das von der NASA verwaltet wurde und 1972 offiziell begann. Das Space-Shuttle-System - bestehend aus einem Orbiter, der mit zwei wiederverwendbaren Feststoffraketen-Boostern und einem externen Treibstofftank gestartet wurde - brachte bis zu acht Astronauten und bis zu 23.000 kg Nutzlast in eine niedrige Erdumlaufbahn (LEO). Nach Abschluss seiner Mission würde der Orbiter wieder in die Erdatmosphäre eintreten und als Gleitschirm landen. Obwohl das Konzept seit den späten 1960er Jahren erforscht wurde, begann das Programm offiziell 1972 und stand nach den letzten Apollo- und Skylab-Flügen Mitte der 1970er Jahre im Mittelpunkt des bemannten NASA-Betriebs. Es begann mit dem Start des ersten Shuttles Columbia am 12. April 1981 auf STS-1. und beendete seine letzte Mission, STS-135, die von Atlantis geflogen wurde, im Juli 2011.
