The Space Shuttle Atlantis moves within 80 feet of Russia's Mir Space Station during rendezvous and docking operations. During the STS-74 mission, the crew used an IMAX camera to document the Space Shuttle Atlantis' rendezvous and docking with the Mir Space Station. The 65mm camera system was located in the Atlantis' cargo bay and provided a unique fish-eye perspective. These images were selected from footage that was incorporated in a large-format feature film about NASA's cooperative program with the Russians.

What a great memory! September 21, 2012.
We were stepping out of the Star Wars ride at Disneyland, looked up to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour fly over on it's Boeing 747 transport, along with it's escort plane, to it's final display location at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Lucky timing!
Marsh driftwood and Florida shrubbery frame the liftoff phase of the Space Shuttle Endeavour as it begins the STS-69 mission. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 11:09:00:52 a.m. (EDT), September 7, 1995. The crew of five NASA astronauts was embarking on an 11-day multifaceted mission featuring two free-flying scientific research spacecraft, a spacewalk and a host of experiments in both the cargo bay and the middeck. Onboard were astronauts David M. Walker, Kenneth D. Cockrell, James S. Voss, James H. Newman and Michael L. Gernhardt.

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.

Due to PTC and a new shuttle train elevator being built, Endicott is the epicenter of grain operations on WATCO's Hooper and Pleasant ValleySubs. During harvest season, the elevator will load multiple unit trains for shiment to the coast. I believe they run all the way to Portland rather than transloading to a barge at Wallula like they previously did.
On this morning I was hanging around Lower Monument Dam when an empty grainer of UP cars came scooting up the Snake River. Suspecting that it was the shuttle train, I was able to catch it here coming into the elevator at Endicott.

I don't recall seeing any of these in France before. As we pulled into this supermarket stop a Mk1 Espace was heading away.

The Light Space2Surface shuttle is a commonly used vehicle throughout the galaxy. When you feel the urge to swoop along the surface on some unfamiliar moon on your ZeroG-Board you need some kind of quick transportation to take you down there.

This is my entry in the Classic Space Era Spaceship competition on Eurobricks. It has foldable landing gear and the traveller can snap their board in the rear.
The other shuttle operating on the Sunday, from Thirlmere to Picton (not quite) and back, worked by 3526 and 3265. They are seen here climbing through Redbank, on the loop line, on one of the return shuttles from Picton.
Interestingly, the shuttles didn't operate even remotely close to Picton station, stopping before the train even came into view of either of the foot bridges (which we found out the hard way!)
Space Shuttle Endeavour flying over Austin, TX on its ferry flight to LA. I got this from the roof of my building (RLM) and I'm glad I decided to come in to work early in hopes of catching it!
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.

This project started out with me seeing some concept art by Ivan Tantsiura. The engines in particular really caught my attention. More boxy than what you normally see. So I decided to run with the concept.
The idea behind the shuttle itself was less scientific like NASAs shuttles, and more commercial. Carrying corporate employees to stations in Earth orbit. So the interior is more luxurious than you might expect with plenty of leg room. Even the cockpit has some measure of luxury, despite a lot of that being overridden with function The seat would have neural ports for the pilots to control the aircraft, something I couldn't manage on the model itself but the idea lives on in my imagination. Now, on the other hand, you don't want to waste money on too much luxury, so the rear cargo bay is bare metal with industrial warnings and hardpoints for securing luggage. Really embracing that military cargo bay feel. All in all I am really happy with the interior. I even managed to make room for figs!
I had just as much fun with the exterior. I wanted a super clean look that was reminiscent of our real-world shuttles, but still carried on more sci-fi design cues. The engines are an obvious start to that concept. Those were taken wholesale from the concept art I mentioned earlier, then modified and adapted to suit what I had in mind. The rest of the shuttle took shape from an early sketch I did of the top profile. And I swear I was using that leading edge design before the UCS Batwing was announced, that's what I'm saying to make myself feel better at least.
Obviously, another important part of the exterior is the color blocking. The orange came pretty naturally. It contrasts well without being too bright. And the part availability meant I had access to enough parts to really clean up the lines. The orange section on the underside makes me especially happy.
And that's really a good note to end on, I'm just really happy with this build. It let me have some fun and I think the final pruduct reflects that. As always, instructions are available on Rebrickable. rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-89840/AsgardianStudio/cyberpunk-...

One of my favourite wild shots from 2024. At the time I took the photo, there were only 89 Honda Shuttles with an MOT in the UK in the final quarter of the year. Finding one parked on a backstreet would be a great spot, but managing to bag a genuine wild shot on the move was very fortunate to say the least.
A two-car R68 (S) pair (Westinghouse-Amrail, 1986-1988) leads a six-car train up the Brighton Line, passing Cortelyou Rd station. This train was heading to Prospect Park to swap out a shuttle train that had gotten tagged, so that it could be taken back to Coney Island Yard to be cleaned. Of note is that the lead motor, car 2924, is the last in the series of R68s.
