KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Orbiter Processing Facility, United Space Alliance employee Harrell Watts (right) installs Thermal Protection System tiles on a main landing gear door of Space Shuttle orbiter Enterprise (OV-101). Sections of Enterprise were borrowed from the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum where the orbiter is being stored at the Washington Dulles International Airport. Enterprise was the first orbiter built in the Shuttle fleet and was used to conduct the Approach and Landing Test Program before the first powered Shuttle flight. After the tile installation is complete, the sections will be transferred to the Southwest Research Institute for testing requested by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. KSC-03pd1079

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – In an environmental enclosure in processing facility 1555 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a spacecraft technician inspects half of a Pegasus payload fairing for NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission. The fairing will protect the spacecraft from the heat and aerodynamic pressure generated during ascent to orbit aboard an Orbital Sciences Pegasus XL rocket in March. Once processing of the rocket and spacecraft are completed at Vandenberg, they will be flown aboard an L-1011 carrier aircraft to the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site on the Pacific Ocean’s Kwajalein Atoll for launch. NuSTAR, a high-energy x-ray telescope, will conduct a census for black holes, map radioactive material in young supernovae remnants, and study the origins of cosmic rays and the extreme physics around collapsed stars.

S109E5251 - STS-109 - Old HST solar array in payload bay during first EVA

description

Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: The piece of hardware putting on a bright glow in left foreground is the furled old solar array that astronauts Richard Linnehan and John M. Grunsfeld, payload commander, earlier removed from Hubble Space Telescope during the first of five Extravehicular Activities (EVAs) of the STS-109 mission. The old array is now latched in Columbia's cargo bay for return to Earth.
