NASA Space Flight Selected Videos


	Shuttle Endeavour atop a modified 747 on low approach at Ellington Field near the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston TX on Dec. 11 2008. The supporting C17, T-38s, F16s and Apache helicopters can also be seen in the video. The Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) also appears in the video. The Shuttle training aircraft (STA) is used to simulate the landing portion for Shuttle commanders and Shuttle pilots. Engine reversers, full flaps, and fully down landing gear are used when simulating the Shuttle approaches in order to reduce the lift from the STA and more closely approximate the glideslope of the Shuttle on final approach.

	The space shuttle takes off on July 4th, first lift off on July 4th. It's amazing how much thrust this baby has pushing it towards space...
	Space shuttle Atlantis lands at Edwards Air Force Base in California on June 22, 2007.
	NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter launched at 5:32 p.m. EDT aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The satellite will relay more information about the lunar environment than any other previous mission to the moon. The orbiter, known as LRO, separated from the Atlas V rocket carrying it and a companion mission, the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite. The LCROSS handoff is expected to occur in about two hours and 10 minutes.
	Expedition 20 Flight Engineer Michael Barratt provides a 20-minute tour of the International Space Station, documenting the full 167 feet of the space station's pressurized modules. Barratts commentary describes to Mission Control in Houston how equipment and supplies are arranged and stored, and provides engineers with a detailed assessment of each module-to-module hatchway.
