CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 2 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, heat shields are being installed around space shuttle Endeavour’s replica shuttle main engines. 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. Its ferry flight to California is targeted for mid-September. 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. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/transition Photo credit: NASA/ Jim Grossmann KSC-2012-3976

Summary
The original finding aid described this as:
Description: During STS-37 deployment, the Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO), the mission's primary payload, is grappled by the remote manipulator system (RMS) arm and lifted above Atlantis', Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104's, payload bay (PLB). Visible under GRO is the stowed high gain antenna (HGA). Four of the eight Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) detectors appear on GRO's corners (top and bottom). The Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) is visible on top of the GRO satellite. Other PLB-mounted experiments include the manipulator foot restraint (MFR) with grapple fixture (on starboard side), the ascent particle monitor (APM) (on starboard side), and the crew and equipment translation aid (CETA) track. OV-104's wings appear on either side of GRO with the vertical tail extending above it in the background. Image 031 was selected by the Public Affairs Office (PAO) for public release.

STS-37
Space Shuttle Atlantis was a space shuttle that was operated by NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program. It was the fourth operational shuttle built, and the last one to be built before the program was retired in 2011. Atlantis was named after the first research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and it made its first flight in October 1985. Over the course of its career, Atlantis completed 33 missions and spent a total of 307 days in space. Its last mission was STS-135, which was the final mission of the Space Shuttle program. Atlantis is now on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Space Shuttle Atlantis (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-104) was one of the four first operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA, the space agency of the United States. (The other two are Discovery and Endeavour.) Atlantis was the fourth operational shuttle built. Atlantis is named after a two-masted sailing ship that operated from 1930 to 1966 for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Atlantis performed well in 25 years of service, flying 33 missions.
