CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. --In Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a crane lifts away one of space shuttle Endeavour’s main propulsion system tanks from the mid-body after it was removed by United Space Alliance technicians. The tanks will be retained for possible future use on the agency’s Space Launch System Program. The work is part of Endeavour’s transition and retirement processing. The spacecraft is being prepared for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Endeavour flew 25 missions, spent 299 days in space, orbited Earth 4,671 times and traveled 122, 883, 151 miles over the course of its 19-year career.

Summary

Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, mission specialist, participates in an extravehicular activity a few meters away from the cabin of the shuttle Challenger during the STS-41B mission. He is using a nitrogen-propelled hand-controlled Manned Maneuvering Unit. This was the first time an astronaut performed a spacewalk without being tethered to the shuttle.
