Two new pages on the #SpaceHistory #SpaceShuttle #NASA #SpaceFlight archive. The first is OMI V1202 - the Main Propulsion helium signature test. Seal the aft, pressurize everything with helium, and measure what leaks. The aft compartment IS the instrument.

OK, bonus one, is a good contender...

And here's the rest... 2/2

So, me and a couple of friends are going to @NASA JPL Lab in August to see the #spaceshuttle exhibition and I think I got too many t-shirts to choose from for the trip to come... Here's some of them... But I think the grey one will be the natural choice... 1/2...

NASA has been quietly taking Shuttle documentation offline. The Columbia STS-107 FMEA/CIL files aren't even on the Wayback Machine.

Same pattern as Apollo: the F-1 blueprints survive, the people who knew how to build it don't.

11 years at KSC on the Main Propulsion System, and I kept copies. 2,004 documents, images and launch voice tapes on the Internet Archive, and at Zenodo with a DOI and per-file checksums:

Launching Rockets is Hard, Bring them Back is Harder

15 years ago #OTD the #SpaceShuttle flew for the last time. The most elegant ship that ever carried humans to the cosmos.. and I miss her everyday.

But it's a good opportunity to remember that Atlantis namesake, the ship RV Atlantis, is still alive and working in Argentina!

#Raumfahrt: #DLR stellt Konzept für teilweise wiederverwendbares Trägersystem vor. Ähnelt eher einem kleinen #SpaceShuttle als die #SpaceX Raketen https://www.hartpunkt.de/raumfahrt-dlr-stellt-konzept-fuer-teilweise-wiederverwendbares-traegersystem-vor/

👨‍🚀🚀 In 1984 #NASA #astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first person in #history to fly untethered in #space using a nitrogen-powered jet pack.

He navigated over 90 meters (300 ft) from the #SpaceShuttle Challenger to demonstrate how #humans can move independently in a vacuum. The flight provided data on orbital maneuvering that helped engineers develop systems for satellite retrieval and repairs.
