The Space Shuttle Enterprise (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first Space Shuttle orbiter. It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform test flights in the atmosphere. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight.
Originally, Enterprise had been intended to be refitted for orbital flight, which would have made it the second space shuttle to fly after Columbia. However, during the construction of Columbia, details of the final design changed, particularly with regard to the weight of the fuselage and wings. Refitting Enterprise for spaceflight would have involved dismantling the orbiter and returning the sections to subcontractors across the country. As this was an expensive proposition, it was determined to be less costly to build Challenger around a body frame (STA-099) that had been created as a test article. Similarly, Enterprise was considered for refit to replace Challenger after the latter was destroyed, but Endeavour was built from structural spares instead
Day 7 of my 365. I again didn't get a chance to do much unril late. I hit on the idea of pointing the camera straight up at the sky with only the stars and scudding clouds in view.
I merged 3 images from slightly different positions to create this shot.

Soon after sunrise, grazing light from the right reveals the edges and other details of multiple lava flows in part of Daedalia Planum, comprised of lava flows from Arsia Mons. A windstreak is visible at the top of the image, downwind from a small crater.

Front view with carbon tile black applied around the nose, front sides and up to the edge of the wings. Done with all the filling and sanding though, thank god.

This is a pretty sweet cabinet. I don't care much for Space Invaders, but Qix! I played so much of that on my GameBoy back in the day.

In SPACE at Eldon Building, University of Portsmouth.
The SPACE gallery was host to the international artist Pete Codling who creatied a giant charcoal drawing directly on the gallery wall. The building, currently being demolished in the next 2 weeks along with this final artwork, was actually Codling’s old studio space when he was a student at Portsmouth College of Art in the late 1980s.
This ‘charcoal epitaph’ is a personal way for the artist to say good bye to the building but also to celebrate the creativity of many artists, designers and musicians who have used this space over the last fifty years.
