Rare Space Shuttle Footage By Ted Van Pelt

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.

 

Construction began on the first orbiter on June 4, 1974. Designated OV-101, it was originally planned to be named Constitution. However, a write-in campaign caused it to be renamed after the Starship Enterprise, featured on the television show Star Trek.

 

The design of OV-101 was not the same as that planned for OV-102, the first flight model; the tail was constructed differently, and it did not have the interfaces to mount OMS pods. A large number of subsystems—ranging from main engines to radar equipment—were not installed on this vehicle, but the capacity to add them in the future was retained. Instead of a Thermal Protection System, its surface was primarily fiberglass.

 

In mid-1976, the orbiter was used for ground vibration tests, allowing engineers to compare data from an actual flight vehicle with theoretical models.

 

On September 17, 1976, Enterprise was rolled out of Rockwell's plant at Palmdale, California. In recognition of its fictional namesake, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and most of the principal cast of the original series of Star Trek were on hand at the dedication ceremony.

 

On January 31, 1977, it was taken by road to Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, to begin operational testing.

 

While at NASA Dryden, Enterprise was used by NASA for a variety of ground and flight tests intended to validate aspects of the shuttle program. The initial nine-month testing period was referred to by the acronym ALT, for "Approach and Landing Test". These tests included a maiden "flight" on February 18, 1977 atop a Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) to measure structural loads and ground handling and braking characteristics of the mated system. Ground tests of all orbiter subsystems were carried out to verify functionality prior to atmospheric flight.

 

The mated Enterprise/SCA combination was then subjected to five test flights with Enterprise unmanned and unactivated. The purpose of these test flights was to measure the flight characteristics of the mated combination. These tests were followed with three test flights with Enterprise manned to test the shuttle flight control systems.

 

Finally, Enterprise underwent five free flights where the craft separated from the SCA and was landed under astronaut control. These tests verified the flight characteristics of the orbiter design and were carried out under several aerodynamic and weight configurations.

 

On August 12, 1977, the space shuttle Enterprise flew on its own for the first time

Caption: In case you’ve never seen them, this is what the tiles look like up close. They are part of the orbiter’s thermal protection system or TPS and they are made of coated silica ceramics. Their job is to protect the underside of the orbiter from the extreme heat when the shuttle reenters Earth’s atmosphere. By the way, I looked it up….reentry temperature can exceed 2300 degrees Fahrenheit! Umm, yeah. Hot.

Explorer = 226 on Wednesday, November 19, 2008

  

It is hard to get a clean shot at night launches - the shuttles booster rocket exhaust is so intense - I am still trying different editing to get a better picture. One thing I know I will do differently if I get another chance is to not focus on the flame but on the smoke trail down from the flame so my camera doesn't underexpose the whole scene. There is not much hope of getting a clear shot of the shuttle itself unless you have a huge telephoto and focus on the shuttle ahead of the exhaust. If anybody knows how to do it better - please let me know!

 

Thanks

Columbia lifts off the launch pad on April 12, 1981, during the first launch of the space shuttle. This image was taken near the vehicle assembly building on Kodak color print film using a 200mm zoom lens and a 2x adapter.

This is a photo of the Space Shuttle on the carrier 747 passing near to my house in Orange County California, USA. This brought a tear to my eye having once worked for the prime shuttle contractor. It is an end of an era.

To travel through space is always one of my vain hopes.This is my space shuttle model which I bought last year.

Russian Space Shuttle Buran

Amazing ship measuring 36 m long, 16 m high and weighing about 80 tons.

The BURAN prototype OK-GLI shown in the museum was built in 1984 and was used for testing glidingflight and landing after reentry into the atmosphere. During this part of the project the OK-GLI completed 25 atmospheric flights between 1984 and 1989 and significantly contributed to the successful orbital flight of a BURAN shuttle in 1988.

Built for the 2012 Mocathalon on MocPages. Commemorates the Challenger Shuttle explosion on January 28, 1986.

Columbia lifts off the launch pad on April 12, 1981, during the first launch of the space shuttle. This image was taken near the vehicle assembly building on Kodak color print film using a 200mm zoom lens and a 2x adapter.

Waiting to take off, I glance out the window, and see this!

This is my Homework Organization Poster. At first I couldn't think of anything but then I thought of this. I think it is involved with Organization because it needs a lot of Organization to plan for a Space shuttle launch, food, docking with a space station, preparing the astronauts, landing etc. Also, if it is Organized well then the astronauts will come back safely and it will be successful.

A photograph I personally took of a 1:1 scale mock-up Space Shuttle, built in 1991 by Carrington Engineering in Newcastle Australia, with the full permission of NASA (which included access to real shuttle design plans!)

 

The company built two of these, for (I think) AU1990$300,000 each, primarily as a demo of the company's designers. The first was sold to a businessman in Japan who did the dodge deliberately not paying the custom importing costs so that it got impounded by the authorities, he refused to pay the money that was owed, and who then later bought via an intermediary at auction for less than the cost of the scrap metal. It was to have become an attraction at an amusement park ("Space World" in Kitakyushu, www.spaceworld.co.jp/english/, I believe.)

 

The second, a mock-up of the Challenger, sent the company broke after another bit of misfortune. What remained of it became a road-side eyecatch for a Hunter Valley Rose Farm.

 

(If the picture quality is a bit pecular, it's because there were taken with a pre-digital camera about 17 years ago.. The 600dpi raw scans are available on request.)

 

More photos at: hunter.apana.org.au/~cjb/Image/Newcastle_Space_Shuttle/

The space shuttle Endeavour, mounted atop an overland transporter, arrived at the California Science Center near downtown Los Angeles Sunday afternoon Oct. 14 after a more than two-day snail's-pace journey from Los Angeles International Airport through city streets.

 

Endeavour was transported at less than two miles per hour, with numerous pre-positioning moves and stops that occurred as it went under raised transmission lines and across the 405 freeway – that segment pulled by a pickup truck before it arrived at Inglewood City Hall for an official ceremony Saturday morning.

 

Endeavour was NASA's fifth and final space shuttle to be built. Construction began on Sept. 28, 1987 and it rolled out of the assembly plant in Palmdale, Calif. in April 1991. It was named after a ship chartered to traverse the South Pacific in 1768 and captained by 18th century explorer James Cook.
