Then the shuttle could be lifted onto the crawler which moved closer to the tower from which the mounting with the tank was pushed out until it connected to the shuttle. First, the external tank had to be lifted onto a mounting which was then retracted into the launch tower. There was an elaborate process of making the orbiter ready for launch. Incredible LEGO Space Shuttle, Launchpad and Space Launch System - The Brothers Brick The Brothers Brick Incredible LEGO Space Shuttle, Launchpad and Space Launch System Space. The small control center contained several computer screens as well as a HUD-like interface on its windows. There are four minifigures: an astronaut, a scientist and two mechanics/technicians. It is composed of a shuttle with external tank and solid rocket boosters, a satellite that can be carried in the shuttle's cargo bay, a launch pad with a small mission control center, and a crawler-transporter to carry the shuttle to the launch pad. Space mission and science news, images and videos from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system.

EST.6339 Shuttle Launch Pad is a Launch Command set released in 1995. The set is LEGO's second model of a space shuttle and its launch pad after 1682 Space Shuttle from 1990 and is similar in design to that older set. NASAalready has plans to redo the launch pads after the shuttle?s retirement, andprepare them for the Ares I rockets that will carry the Orioncapsule replacing the shuttle. She added that the total cost for the flame trench facelift was expectedto fall under $2.7 million. ?Thatrepair will remain intact until the end of the shuttle program,? Willcoxonsaid. Brick removal starts Friday and ends on July 19, and the wall repairis slated to go from the third week of July until the third week of August.

An up-to-date, chronological list of City/Town Rocket and Space Shuttle Launch Pads to show how they have changed (and stayed the same) over the years.

NASAhas two launch pads for Atlantis and the remaining shuttle missions, but willneed both ready for the Hubblerepair mission in case a second shuttle must fly on a rescue mission.That?s because the Hubble Space Telescope sits in a different orbit than theInternational Space Station, and so Atlantis would be unable to reach the safehaven of the orbital outpost during an emergency. NASAcrews plans to work with an outside contractor to repair the damaged east wall,but will also replace a 25-foot high by 80-foot wide section of the west wall?sbricks using a spray-on, heat resistant material. However, simulations run by theengineers showed that none of the bricks flew up near the pad surface, andtherefore posed no possible risk to the space shuttle.Įrosionhas similarly taken its toll on the intact west wall of the flame trench. Thethrust from Discovery?s engines blasted 3,500 bricks (newly revised estimate)from the wall and left them strewn across 1,500 feet (457 meters) between theflame trench and the pad?s perimeter fence.
