CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Standing beneath the midbody of space shuttle Endeavour, members of the news media interview Stephanie Stilson, NASA flow director for the shuttles' transition and retirement, inside Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Stilson was one of several shuttle experts available for interviews around the outside of Endeavour and inside the shuttle's crew compartment. Ongoing transition and retirement activities are preparing the spacecraft for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Endeavour flew 25 missions during its 19-year career.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Astronaut Sam Durrance points to a student with a question in a classroom at Oscar Patterson Elementary Magnet School in Panama City, Fla. Sharing stories of his experiences as an astronaut, Durrance joined Center Director Jim Kennedy, who is visiting Florida and Georgia NASA Explorer Schools to share America’s new vision for space exploration with the next generation of explorers. Kennedy is talking with students about our destiny as explorers, NASA’s stepping stone approach to exploring Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond, how space impacts our lives, and how people and machines rely on each other in space.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- After completing simulated pad emergency exit training on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the STS-135 crew members pause for a photo. From left are Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim. The exercise is part of the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) and related training. Atlantis and its crew are targeted to lift off July 8, taking with them the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts to the International Space Station. The STS-135 mission also will fly a system to investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing satellites and return a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. STS-135 will be the 33rd flight of Atlantis, the 37th shuttle mission to the space station, and the 135th and final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program.

Summary
The original finding aid described this as:
Description: Photographic documentation of the payload bay of the Space Shuttle Columbia taken during STS-62. The United States Microgravity Payload-2 (USMP-2) and Getaway Special (GAS) canisters are illustrated in the cargo bay. USMP-2 investigated the effects of microgravity on materials and fundamental sciences and did not require the attention of crew members. The experiments contained in the USMP-2 investigated the effects of microgravity on the directional solidification of semiconductor materials, tested dendritic growth theories in the absence of gravity-driven fluid flows, and analyzed the behavior of xenon at its critical point. The GAS canisters are small self-contained payload standard carrier system hardware which stored the limited-duration space environment candidate materials exposure manifested on STS-62.
