	CBC News:Shuttle astronauts head home from space station
		Shuttle crews often leave behind extra freeze-dried food for the station crew, but Mission Control warned the Endeavour astronauts not to be too generous.
		The shuttle is bringing home two Russians and one American who spent six months on the station.
		Both crews spent a week conducting joint operations, including three spacewalks to install a new $390-million, 13.5-metre girder on the station.

	BBSNews - NASA PUTS SPACE SHUTTLE EXTERNAL TANK TO THE TEST
		The tanking test consisted of ground crews at KSC filling the ET with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fuel to evaluate how the Shuttle, tank, Solid Rocket Boosters and ground systems performed when the tank was filled with two super-cold propellants.
		Seven of those tests were performed from 1981 to 1983, the first three years of the Shuttle program.
		The 11-hour test also readied Discovery's main propulsion system and allowed technicians operating the hardware to gain first-hand experience on the redesigned tank.

		NASA security remove the space shuttle Columbia flag from the flagpole at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., shortly after Columbia was seen breaking up.
		After receiving a school flag to take aboard the space shuttle, McAuliffe told the assembled students, "I really don't want to say goodbye to any of you people," adding that she would surely return for graduation ceremonies the following spring.

	CNN.com - Space - Shuttle Atlantis docks with space station - September 10, 2000
		The shuttle was trailing the space station by about 403 miles as the astronauts began their workday Saturday with a call from fellow astronaut Shannon Lucid at Mission Control in Houston.
		The shuttle has enough fuel to extend the 11-day mission one day, giving the crew enough time to begin installation work that would otherwise be left for future crews.
		The shuttle and its mixed crew of U.S. astronauts and Russian cosmonauts are on a supply and outfitting run to the orbiting construction complex in advance of the first long-duration crew's arrival in November.

	CNN.com - Is the shuttle worth it? - Feb. 5, 2003
		In recent years most shuttle crews flew with giant pieces of hardware and attached them to the station, but the fatal Columbia mission was a rare throwback to the science days.
		The space shuttle Atlantis was to roll out to the launch pad this week for a trip to the international space station.
		Shuttles have instead averaged about five launches a year, and NASA was way off on the cost.

	747 SCA Mating with Space Shuttle Endeavour in the Mate-Demate Device (MDD)
		The SCAs are used to ferry space shuttle orbiters from landing sites back to the launch complex at the Kennedy Space Center, and also to and from other locations too distant for the orbiters to be delivered by ground transportation.
		Following the wake vortex studies, NASA 905 was modified by Boeing to its present SCA configuration and the aircraft was returned to Dryden for its role in the 1977 Space Shuttle Approach and Landing Tests (ALT).
		NASA 905 was the only SCA used by the space shuttle program until November 1990, when NASA 911 was delivered as an SCA.

		Everything about it looks real: the flight deck, where the astronauts fly the orbiter during launch and landings; the middeck, where shuttle crews work on experiments, sleep, eat and use the toilet; the cargo bay, where satellites, the laboratory and the space station modules grab a ride into orbit.
		As a high school junior, I was at the Cape on Feb. 20, 1962, when John Glenn blasted into space for the first time on Friendship 7, and I was here in October 1998, when, at age 77, Glenn went up the second time on the shuttle Discovery.

		The shuttle delivers components of the space station to be installed; it also carries crews to and from the station.
		The horrific end of shuttle mission STS-107 was a devastating blow to the nation's space program; the Challenger explosion led to a 2 1/2-year moratorium on launches, and Saturday's accident could bring construction of the international space station to a standstill.
		While possible damage to the shuttle's left wing is one lead, other possibilities include an undetected structural flaw in the orbiter and a misaligned re-entry angle, which could have subjected the spacecraft to temperatures beyond its design limits.

		The space shuttle is grounded, and its smaller sibling, the "orbital space plane," may not be built.
		It is "international" as to the origin of some of its parts and some of its crew and, while the shuttle is grounded, the craft used to ferry the maintenance crews and supplies, but most of it is paid for by the United States.
		The launch schedule has been unreliable, with many space customers wondering if their satellites would ever get to orbit; in some cases satellites have remained on the ground so long that their power supplies ran down and had to be replaced before launch.
