At NASA s Kennedy Space Center, Space Shuttle Discovery, atop the Mobile Launcher Platform (MLP), crawls toward Launch Complex 39B. First motion out of the Vehicle Assembly Building occurred at 2:04 p.m. EDT. The rollout marks a major milestone in the Space Shuttle Program s Return to Flight. The MLP is moved by the Crawler-Transporter underneath, which stands 20 feet high, 131 feet long and 114 feet wide. It moves on eight tracks, each containing 57 shoes, or cleats, weighing one ton each. Loaded with the Space Shuttle, the Crawler can move at a maximum speed of approximately 1 mile an hour. A leveling system in the Crawler keeps the Shuttle vertical while negotiating the 5 percent grade leading to the top of the launch pad. Launch of Discovery on its Return to Flight mission, STS-114, is targeted for May 15 with a launch window that extends to June 3. During its 12-day mission, Discovery s seven-person crew will test new hardware and techniques to improve Shuttle safety, as well as deliver supplies to the International Space Station.Date Taken/Released: April 6, 2005 Credits: KSC NASA  |

New Exclusive STS-114 Return To Flight Wristband |
This is the official NASA mission patch for STS-114, Return To Flight. It signifies the return of the Space Shuttle to flight and honors the memory of the STS-107 Columbia crew. The blue Shuttle rising above Earths horizon includes the Columbia (the dove) constellation of seven stars, echoing the STS-107 patch and commemorating the seven members of that mission. The dominant design element of the STS-114 patch is the planet Earth, which represents the unity and dedication of the many people whose efforts allows the Shuttle to safely return to flight. |
The STS-114 patch design signifies the return of the Space Shuttle to flight and honors the memory of the STS-107 Columbia crew. The blue Shuttle rising above Earth's horizon includes the Columba constellation of seven stars, echoing the STS-107 patch and commemorating the seven members of that mission. The crew of STS-114 will carry the memory of their friends on Columbia and the legacy of their mission back into Earth orbit. The dominant design element of the STS-114 patch is the planet Earth, which represents the unity and dedication of the many people whose efforts allows the Shuttle to safely return to flight. Against the background of the Earth at night, the blue orbit represents the International Space Station (ISS), with the EVA crewmembers named on the orbit. The red sun on the orbit signifies the contributions of the Japanese Space Agency to the mission and to the ISS program. The multi-colored Shuttle plume represents the broad spectrum of challenges for this mission, including Shuttle inspection and repair experiments, and International Space Station re-supply and repair. |
This is the official portrait for the STS-114 crew, who will return the NASA Space Shuttle to flight more than two years after the tragic Columbia accident. |

NASA reports: After a two-and-a-half-year wait, everything finally came together on July 26, 2005, with launch at 10:39 a.m. EDT. During this test mission, NASA accomplished a variety of goals while also learning some important lessons. At liftoff, a large piece of insulating foam broke off the External Tank. Now, NASA engineers are working to determine what caused this and how to prevent it from happening in the future. The first of two Return to Flight missions, STS-114 included breathtaking in-orbit maneuvers, tests of new equipment and procedures, a first-of-its-kind spacewalking repair, and phone calls from two world leaders. Using the new Orbiter Boom Sensor System, Discovery crewmembers took an unprecedented up-close look at the orbiter's thermal protection system. This collection of new data was expanded on flight day three, when Commander Collins guided Discovery through the first-ever "rendezvous pitch maneuver" as the orbiter approached the International Space Station for docking. The slow-motion back flip allowed Station crewmembers Phillips and Krikalev to snap high-resolution photos. During the first of three spacewalks, Mission Specialists Stephen Robinson and Soichi Noguchi tested new repair techniques for the outer skin of the Space Shuttle's heat shield and installed equipment outside the Station. Two days later, Robinson and Noguchi again ventured out into the vacuum of space to replace a failed Control Moment Gyro. When two thermal protection tile gap-fillers were spotted jutting out of Discovery's underside, astronauts and other experts on the ground devised a plan for Robinson to ride the Station's robotic arm beneath the Shuttle and remove the gap-fillers. Work on the Shuttle underbelly had never been tried before, but with Mission Specialist Wendy Lawrence and Pilot Jim Kelly operating the robotic arms, Mission Specialist Andy Thomas coordinating and fellow spacewalker Noguchi keeping watch, Robinson delicately completed the extraction during the third and final spacewalk. "Okay, that came out very easily," Robinson said after carefully removing one of the fillers. "It looks like this big patient is cured." With the mission drawing to a close, the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello was removed from the Space Station and reinstalled in Discovery's payload bay. Raffaello arrived at the Station with more than 12,000 pounds of equipment and supplies and carried about 7,000 pounds of Station material on the trip back to Earth. After nine days of cooperative work, Discovery undocked from the International Space Station Aug. 6 and parted ways. The STS-114 crew was given an extra day in orbit Aug. 8, when the first attempt to land at Kennedy Space Center was foiled by uncooperative weather. But even though cloudy skies reappeared at the Shuttle's home port the next morning, NASA was ready with a backup plan: a landing at Edwards Air Force Base in the high desert of California, where the weather was perfect. Discovery touched down at 5:12 a.m. PDT on Aug. 9 at Edwards. "We have had a fantastic mission," Commander Eileen Collins said with a smile. At her side were her crewmates, Pilot James Kelly and Mission Specialists Soichi Noguchi, Stephen Robinson, Wendy Lawrence, Charles Camarda and Andy Thomas. "We are so glad to be able to come back and say it was successful. The crew was really anxious to walk around and |
