Space Shuttle Discovery on top of the SCA 747 flying over the Udvar-Hazy Center, getting ready to land.
This is where I spotted it the first time. There were some people on a roof of a building behind this view who were looking intently in one direction. So I turned around, too, and saw the shuttle. (It's the speck to the left of the tree on the right. In the large view it can be seen clearly.)
The Space Shuttle Endeavour leaves the pad on its way to the Internation Space Station to deliver the last part of the Kibo module, the Japanese Exposed Facility. Basically, it will provide the ISS with a front porch so they can perform experiments that require direct exposure to space.
Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
Welcome to a preview of a new exhibition about human spaceflight since the 1970s-people traveling to space, living and working there, and seeking to move beyond Earth.
Like spaceflight itself, this exhibition is a work in progress. When completed in late 2011, it will highlight the Space Shuttle and International Space Station, and look beyond to possible futures in space.
For now, you can view some spaceflight icons and try some hands-on activities to test your space knowledge, explore your interests in space work, and exercise your decision-making skills.
We will keep adding objects and displays, so visit again and watch things change.
Come in and see... Are you ready for spaceflight?
The space shuttle Endeavour flew over Houston and landed at Ellington Field on its final flight from Florida to California. Mom went to see it. The shuttle was bolted to a 747 for its flight.
