These Photosynths were generated through a collaboration between NASA and Live Labs. They show four different aspects of the Shuttle's lifecycle as never before seen.



Atlantis on the 747 Orbiter and 747


Due to bad weather at Kennedy Space Center, the shuttle Atlantis landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California and returned to KSC piggy-backed on top of a 747. This was most likely Atlantis' final flight.


Endeavour Tiles Endeavour Tiles

Launch Pad Launch Pad


See Endeavour on Launch Pad 39A after the rollout in preparation for launch. The 22nd flight to the International Space Station, STS-118 will be the first flight for Endeavour since 2002. Photosynth allows you to explore many details of the launch pad and supporting infrastructure.


Endeavour Inside the VAB


Prior to launch, the shuttle is mated to the External fuel tank and the booster rockets inside the Vehicle Assembly Building. This collection shows Endeavour undergoing the operation.


Vehicle Assembly Building Vehicle Assembly Building


Originally built for assembly of Apollo/Saturn vehicles, the Vehicle Assembly Building is one of the largest buildings in the world and dominates the landscape of Kennedy Space Center.
