@ Space Shuttle Enterprise (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) is the first orbiter of the Space Shuttle system. Rolled out on September 17, 1976, it was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform atmospheric test flights after being launched from a modified Boeing 747. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield. As a result, it was not capable of spaceflight.

Editor's note: happy Friday, Flickr friends! While we can't all get this kind of sky view, hope you get to enjoy the waning gibbous moon in the skies over Earth this weekend.

The NASA family lost seven of its own on the morning of Jan. 28, 1986, when a booster engine failed, causing the Shuttle Challenger to break apart just 73 seconds after launch.

The space shuttle Discovery is seen from the International Space Station as the two orbital spacecraft separate on March 7, 2011 after an aggregate of 12 astronauts and cosmonauts worked together for over a week. The area below is the southwestern coast of Morocco in the northern Atlantic. During a post undocking fly-around, the crew members aboard the two spacecraft collected a series of photos of each other's vehicle.

Space shuttle Discovery, July 4th 2006.
This was my 1st launch ever, it brought tears to my eyes as it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen :)

Space Shuttle Discovery

Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
I spent this past weekend in Washington D.C. and got to enjoy the incredible weather while everybody in Boston was dealing with two feet of snow. The first day we visited the Air and Space Museum at the Steven F. Undvar-Hazy Center. Unfortunately there is no easy way of getting there using public transportation, so renting a car for the day was required.
The one thing I was looking forward to seeing was the Space Shuttle Discovery, and it did not disappoint! I spent a lot of time viewing the shuttle from the ground and the different walkways that overlook the museum. It was not until I was reviewing my shots that night that I remembered a similar photo that Matt Pasant took from this location. Though, the great thing about photography is we can take a photo from the same spot but still make them our own.
I will have some more photos from my trip to Washington D.C. to post this week, but I did not end up with many shots. I had planned originally on doing a lot of photography, but ended up spending time in the museums instead. I did not even take a tripod with me on the trip, so the night shots I took did require some creativity. I definitely plan on heading back soon though for a weekend of photography, I kept pointing out shots that I wanted to take but will make sure to get them all next time.
Have a great day.

I have been building transformers lego models for two decades now, constantly growing my collection, there were always one thing left to do figure out.
How to build a combiner ?
We all know the limitations through weight on our models versus what we would want from certain bricks and their clutchpowers.
Bruticus and the combaticons were on my wishlist for a long time, so i have been working on those models over the past months, first working out each individual character and then the combine mode.
It needs still a support stand, which also serves as display stand, just to keep the weight up, he is very heavy, standing tall around 60cm.
Instructions available soon.

Although The Space Shuttle fleet was recently retired, Congress has allowed it to be used for domestic animal missions.
Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1989. I had an old Pentax K-1000 with a super cheap long 500mm lens for this shot. I would love to find the negative as this is a scan of a 5x7” print.
The primary payload, Galileo/Jupiter spacecraft and attached Inertial Upper Stage (IUS), was deployed six hours, 30 minutes into the flight. IUS stages fired, placing Galileo on trajectory for six-year trip to Jupiter via gravitational boosts from Venus and Earth and possible observational brushes with asteroids Gaspra and Ida. Secondary payloads included Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SSBUV) experiment carried in cargo bay, and in crew cabin, Growth Hormone Crystal Distribution (GHCD); Polymer Morphology (PM), Sensor Technology Experiment (STEX); Mesoscale Lightning Experiment (MLE); IMAX camera; Shuttle Student Involvement Program (SSIP) experiment that investigated ice crystal formation in zero gravity; and ground-based Air Force Maui Optical Site (AMOS) experiment.
