| Descrição |
Retired in May 2011, Space Shuttle Endeavour was ferried to Los Angeles on 21 September 2012, moved through city streets from the airport to Exposition Park on 12-14 October 2012, and put on display on 30 October 2012. After having seen the moves a few weeks earlier, I am visiting Endeavour again, on the second full day of the exhibit, Halloween. Endeavour will be kept in this temporary exhibit space, Samuel Oschin Pavilion, until 2017, when the permanent Samuel Oschin Air & Space Center is planned to open, and Endeavour is to be displayed there in the launch configuration complete with boosters and external fuel tank. Detail of the rear end. The vertical stabilizer works just like the one on a conventional airplane, allowing vertical stability and steering while descending through air. The rudder can open both left and right to act as speed brakes. At the base of the vertical stabilizer, a rectangular hatch contains a drag chute inside; the hatch is blown open and the chute deployed when the shuttle lands, to shorten the landing roll and decrease brake wear. Endeavour was the first shuttle built with this feature, and it was retrofitted into other orbiters. The large nozzles are for the SSMEs (Space Shuttle Main Engines). The engines themselves have been removed from Endeavour, as they will be re-used in NASA's next space vehicle project, Space Launch System (SLS). The upper side nozzle, mounted on a pod, is the right side Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS). Each orbiter has a pair of OMSs, which are used to enter orbit, maneuver, and to de-orbit for return to Earth. The OMS carries its own toxic hydrazine fuel supply; the fuel tank has been removed to make Endeavour safe for exhibit. The OMS pod assemblies are removed and serviced after each flight, and often got swapped between different orbiters; on Endeavour today, the right OMS was originally built for Discovery, while the left OMS was built for Atlantis, and Endeavour's own OMSs were both lost when they were used on the ill-fated Columbia flight in early 2003. |
