After liftoff, the space shuttle rolls upside down as early as possible so that the commander and pilot will see the Earth's horizon as early as possible. During launch, the shuttle is constantly pitching over until it is eventually parallel with the Earth's surface. The pitching maneuver will make the Earth's horizon slowly come into the astronaut's view from above. Having this view would make it possible for the commander to manually steer the shuttle into orbit in the extremely unlikely even of an automatic guidance system failure. If the shuttle was right-side up, the external tank would block the commander's view.

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.

How do Space Shuttles Work?
Space shuttles work by utilizing three major components to reach their destination. There are two rocket boosters that are critical for the launch itself and the external fuel tank that carries enough fuel for the launch. The orbiter is the component that carries the astronauts and payload. The boosters are ignited to launch the shuttle and separate shortly after launch. When the orbiter reaches its optimum height, the external fuel tanks separate. The orbiter is then set for the orbital path it will follow around the earth. When the orbiter is ready to return to the earth it will use an engine retrofire to leave its orbit and descend to re-enter the earth's atmosphere where it will land.

Fuel filter is in frame rail on drivers side about under where seat would be.
