How does 747 haul space shuttle orbiters?
A pair of 747 aircraft were specially modified to handle the shuttle orbiters. The orbiter is lifted by a crane and mounted to the back of the 747 using the same mount points the orbiter is mounted to the external fuel tank for launch. Upon arriving at the Kennedy Space Center, a similar crane lifts the orbiter off the 747 which then backs out from under the orbiter.
Why is NASA split between Huntsville and Houston?
NASA isn't "split" between Huntsville, Alabama (not Huntsville, Texas), and Houston, Texas - they're just 2 of several NASA Space Centers. Kennedy Space Center is arguably the most recognized, at Cape Canaveral, Florida.Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, is one of NASA's key centers for rocket propulsion research and satellite instrument development.Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, is NASA's key center for Astronaut training, and most notably Mission Control Center for NASA Manned Space Flight Operations. During a Shuttle launch, the mission is controlled by Kennedy Space Center until the end of the Launch Clock countdown; after the launch, the mission is handed over to Mission Control in Houston.JSC's MCC is responsible for monitoring and controlling the International Space Station operations.
Why do space shuttles land in cape canavral?
Economics is the main reason space shuttle orbiter vehicles land at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) landing facility in Cape Canaveral, Florida following each mission in space.Millions of dollars are saved each time the orbiters can land at the same facility where they will be processed for their next mission as opposed to landing at a facility from where the orbiters would have to be transported back to KSC to be prepared for the next mission.
How big is the Mission Control Center at NASA?
NASA actually has several Mission Control Centers, though the main MCC, and the one most people are familiar with, is the Manned Flight Center (MCC-H) at Johnson Space Center in Houston, which directs all Manned Flight activities (e.g., Shuttle, International Space Station, etc.) Up until the mission clock starts advancing, Kennedy Space Center Launch Control is in charge of the mission; after the countdown ends and the mission begins, control switches to MCC at JSC. Since MCC-H is in a hurricane sensitive zone, there are backup MCC facilities at Kennedy Space Center at MCC in Moscow for ISS operations. There are actually several Flight Control rooms in the MCC building - each is manned by a dozen up to 20 controllers.
Where does NASA keep the space shuttles that are not being used?
Space shuttles are placed in a hangar at Kennedy Space Center when not on a mission or on pre- or post flight processing. The very tall Vehicle Assembly Building is where they are prepared for flight and where the External Fuel Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters are joined to the orbiter. Post flight checks and repairs are also carried out here.
