CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Sunrise breaks on the mate/demate device at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Space shuttle Atlantis will be lifted from the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, or SCA, underneath and lowered to the ground. Atlantis returned from California atop the SCA after its May 24 landing at Edwards Air Force Base, concluding mission STS-125. The ferry flight from Edwards Air Force Base began June 1. Atlantis' next assignment is the STS-129 mission, targeted to launch in November 2009. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis KSC-2009-3443
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Workers secure the high-fidelity space shuttle model to the structure that will cradle the model on its journey from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to Johnson Space Center's visitor center in Houston atop a barge. The model was built in Apopka, Fla., by Guard-Lee and installed at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in 1993.The model has been parked at the turn basin the past five months to allow the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to begin building a new facility next year to display space shuttle Atlantis in 2013.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - Following the landing of mission STS-105, from left, Mission Specialist Daniel Barry, Commander Scott "Doc" Horowitz, and Pilot Frederick "Rick" Sturckow give a thumbs up in front of Space Shuttle Discovery on KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility runway 15, as post-landing safing operations continue on the orbiter. Main gear touchdown was at 2:22:58 p.m. EDT; wheel stop, at 2:24:06 p.m. EDT. The 11-day, 21-hour, 12-minute STS-105 mission accomplished the goals set for the 11th flight to the International Space Station: swapout of the resident Station crew; delivery of equipment, supplies and scientific experiments; and installation of the Early Ammonia Servicer and heater cables for the S0 truss on the Station. Discovery traveled 4.3 million miles on its 30th flight into space, the 106th mission of the Space Shuttle program. Out of five missions in 2001, the landing was the first to occur in daylight at KSC. KSC-01pp1493
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Members of the Kennedy Space Center team that processed the space shuttle Endeavour gather for a group picture shortly after the spacecraft backed out of Bay 2 of the Orbiter Processing Facility. Endeavour switched places with Atlantis which had been in Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB. In the VAB, Endeavour will undergo final preparations for its cross-country ferry flight targeted for mid-September. The work is part of Transition and Retirement of the remaining space shuttles, Endeavour and Atlantis. Endeavour is being prepared for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Endeavour was the last space shuttle added to NASA’s orbiter fleet. Over the course of its 19-year career, Endeavour spent 299 days in space during 25 missions.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- United Space Alliance workers move away from space shuttle Discovery after checking the sling before the vehicle's lift into high bay 1. In the bay, Discovery will be mated with the external tank and solid rocket boosters waiting on the mobile launcher platform. Discovery is targeted for launch to the International Space Station for mission STS-120 on Oct. 23. The crew will be delivering and installing the Italian-built U.S. Node 2, named Harmony. The pressurized module will act as an internal connecting port and passageway to additional international science labs and cargo spacecraft. In addition to increasing the living and working space inside the station, it also will serve as a work platform outside for the station's robotic arm. Photo credit: NASA/Charisse Nahser KSC-07pd2549

During Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) activities at Launch Pad 39A, the STS-92 crew poses for a group photo. Standing, left to right, on the crawlerway ramp are Mission Specialists Koichi Wakata of Japan, Michael Lopez-Alegria, Jeff Wisoff, Bill McArthur and Leroy Chiao; Pilot Pam Melroy; and Commander Brian Duffy. The TCDT provides emergency egress training, simulated countdown exercises and opportunities to inspect the mission payloads in the orbiter’s payload bay. In the background is Space Shuttle Discovery. STS-92 is scheduled to launch Oct. 5 at 9:30 p.m. EDT on the fifth flight to the International Space Station. It will carry two elements of the Space Station, the Integrated Truss Structure Z1 and the third Pressurized Mating Adapter. The mission is also the 100th flight in the Shuttle program KSC-00pp1329

Zusammenfassung
Eine andere künstlerische Konzeption der X-33, diesmal nach dem Abschalten des Motors. Das Fahrzeug wird dabei gezeigt, wie es auf seinen Landeplatz im Südwesten der USA zusteuert. Die X-33 wurde entwickelt, um die Technologien zu demonstrieren, die für eine einstufige Trägerrakete in voller Größe erforderlich sind. Ziel war es, die Kosten für die Aufnahme von Nutzlasten in den Orbit erheblich zu senken. Dies erwies sich als schwer fassbar, und aus verschiedenen Gründen wurde die X-33 im Februar 2001 abgesagt.
