Lockheed was awarded the contract for NASA Space Shuttle launching and landing services in 1983. Lockheed also designed and produced the external fuel tanks and various thermal protection products used on the Space Shuttle.
On April 17, 2012 the space shuttle Discovery hitched a ride on the back of a 747 jumbo jet especially designed as a space shuttle transport. It landed at Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, and the process to deliver Discovery to its new home at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center got under way. Through the eyes of a veteran NASA tour guide and aficionado, DJ Emmanuel, we get a behind-the-scenes view of what it was like to be there on such an historic and exciting day!

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. In the Orbiter Processing Facility, an External Tank (ET) digital still camera is positioned into the right-hand liquid oxygen umbilical well on Space Shuttle Atlantis to determine if it fits properly. NASA is pursuing use of the camera, beginning with the Shuttles Return To Flight, to obtain and downlink high-resolution images of the ET following separation of the ET from the orbiter after launch. The Kodak camera will record 24 images, at one frame per 1.5 seconds, on a flash memory card. After orbital insertion, the crew will transfer the images from the memory card to a laptop computer. The files will then be downloaded through the Ku-band system to the Mission Control Center in Houston for analysis.
