NASA brought the Orion spacecraft back to life from the defunct Constellation Program and successfully test launched the first capsule on Decemaboard EFT-1. Constellation was officially cancelled by the NASA Budget Authorization Act on Octo. In February 2010, Obama announced his proposal to cancel the Constellation Program as part of the 2011 Economic Projects. It presented its results on October 22, 2009. The panel worked closely with NASA and sought input from the United States Congress, the White House, the public, industry, and international partners as it developed its options. The " Review of United States Human Space Flight Plans" was to examine ongoing and planned National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA) development activities, as well as potential alternatives and present options for advancing a safe, innovative, affordable, and sustainable human space flight program in the years following Space Shuttle retirement. The review was conducted by a panel of experts led by Norman Augustine, the former CEO of Lockheed Martin, who served on the President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology under both Democrat and Republican presidents. human space flight activities with the goal of ensuring that the nation is on a vigorous and sustainable path to achieving its boldest aspirations in space. On May 7, the Obama Administration announced the launch of an independent review of planned U.S. Joint with Roscosmos, CSA, ESA, and JAXA Americans flew on Russian Soyuz after 2011 retirement of Space ShuttleĬurrent program to shuttle Americans to the ISSĬurrent program to bring humans to the Moon againįurther information: Constellation program Program used to practice space rendezvous and EVAsįirst missions in which a spacecraft was reused Thus far, 163 missions were conducted without fatalities. Three have ended in failure, causing the deaths of seventeen crewmembers in total: Apollo 1 (which never launched) killed three crew members in 1967, STS-51-L ( the Challenger disaster) killed seven in 1986, and STS-107 ( the Columbia disaster) killed seven more in 2003. NASA has successfully launched 166 crewed flights. Every museum requires approximately US $ 28.8 million to the cost of shipping and the cost to start the exhibition.Astronaut Peter Wisoff on a robotic arm, 1993 One purpose of storing these planes in the museum is in the interests of education. From this shuttle, human could know more about the universe. Space shuttle becomes a very important part to humans history. The shuttle was on fire in the skies of Texas upon entering Earth's atmosphere due to the release of heat insulation layer on its body. Columbia was also shattered because of exploded on February 1, 2003, shortly before the ending time of the 28th mission, STS-107. Space shuttle that exploded about 73 seconds after the air above the Florida coast, the Atlantic Ocean, leaving seven crew were killed. Meanwhile, as already known, the Challenger had an accident on Tuesday, January 28, 1986, at 11:38 am during takeoff. Later, the Enterprise will be stored in the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York. It was the first spacecraft which is constructed and has been exhibited at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center, Virginia, since 2003. Atlantis will completing the mission to-135 since its first mission in 1985. Atlantis will complete its final mission in June. Another shuttle, Atlantis, will put in visitors complex of Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The place is located just a few miles from Rockwell, where space shuttle was developed and constructed. Meanwhile, Endeavour will be rolled for the last time this month will stationed in California Sceince Center, Los Angeles.
Space shuttle Discovery, which recently retired after a completed mission to the 39th and last in March, will placed in the museum of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, precisely in Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center, near Dulles International Airport, Virginia.
NASA Administrator has announced several museums that became final and permanent halt for the space shuttles. NASA decided to retire and put space shuttles in a museum. More than 350 people have been taken in that mission with a total mileage exceeds the distance between the Earth-Jupiter.Īfter 30 years of flight, space shuttles will be memorable. Since then, 130 flights have been conducted using some space shuttle: the Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. On 12 April 1981, NASA launched Columbia. For NASA, the day has also historic because it coincided with the commemoration of 30 years of space shuttle flight. 2 April 2011 was not just a memorial for 50 years Yuri Gagarin's flight.
