:salute: to Discovery!

:salute: to all the remaining ones of the shuttle fleet heading to museums.

For a moment there, I thought you managed to get the actual Discovery variant on top of the SCA. That's just the old Columbia sitting on there. I was actually thinking of taking that bird out to fly across the US. Like the way the old SCA did to ferry Columbia from California across to Florida.
 
MET 003:02:15:01. First glance at the moon.

Above this big bright shiny object . . . is another big, but slightly less bright shiny object:

"Constitution, Houston. As a reminder, LOI burn is projected one-zero minutes, three-one seconds; duration is five-eight point nine seconds. We expect loss of signal in two-five seconds . . . mark. We'll expect re-acquisition of signal in approximately . . ."

". . . roger that, Houston. This is Constitution; we'll see you on the other side."

That is actually Discovery, Columbia has the black chines on the wings, Discovery doesnt.

In that case. Where did you get the nice mesh for the tail cover? I have the old mesh along with Columbia and the tailcone mesh with it looks awfully rough shaped. It's still the same old set from the Hangar.

As you can see from the shots below:

I have Shuttle Fleet 4.8. Would that have been in that fleet? And if so, what is the mesh name? I'm just talking of the tailcone. Not the entire shuttle aircraft.

Hey, no real photographs here. :P:thumbup:
 
Today, at 08:23:21 UTC, a Delta IV Heavy+ launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to deliver a new module to the Skylab-II station. The module (Neesys) is the biggest module ever launched to the station. It will provide 5 CBM's and is a new milestone in station assembly. It will dock to the node that was brought to the station by Space Shuttle Endeavour, a couple of months ago. It will first dock to the space facing side of the node and it will later (under the watch of the SL-6 crew) be relocated to the 1st docking location, which is now being used for shuttle dockings.

Launch was a success and the module is now undergoing post-launch tests.

The module

The command of the fregat stage, build and operated by ESA, shifted to Darmstadt Germany right after payload jettison. When the module arrives at the station, the responsibility will be changed to NASA. The fregat stage will stay attached because it's needed for the relocation.
