space shuttle Endeavour born out of the loss of the space shuttle challenger in
1986 represented a commitment to continuing America's human spaceflight
program the nation's decision to build endeavor set the stage for dramatic
missions to come the last of five orbiters to be built for spaceflight
endeavor was named a national competition by elementary and secondary
school students after the 18th century selling vessel commanded by Captain
James Cook construction of endeavor began with its contract award on July
thirty-first 1987 to replace challenger which was lost 73 seconds after launch
on january $MONTH twenty-eighth 1986 endeavor was outfitted with many safety
improvements including a drag chute to be deployed post landing and nose wheel
steering to improve wear on the tires during roll out on the runway
additionally endeavors plumbing was designed for a state-of-the-art edition
allowing for longer stays in space endeavor was delivered to NASA's Kennedy
Space Center from its palmdale california construction site in May 1991
endeavors flight history has included some of the shuttle programs most
memorable flights starting with its very first mission sts-48 nine in Maine 1992
just one year after endeavor first arrived at the Kennedy Space Center for
final processing the primary goal of that mission was to rescue the int'l set
six satellite stranded in low-earth orbit after launch atop an expendable
rocket it would be outfitted with a new motor designed to boost the
communication satellite to its operational orbit 22,000 miles above
their ignition and liftoff of the maiden voyage of endeavor on a satellite went
for two spacewalks astronauts Pierre through it and Ricky tried to place a
specially-designed grapple baran little sad to facilitate its capture with the
shuttles robot arm when those attempts failed the crew in Mission Control
devised a dramatic plan calling for through it he and a third astronaut Tom
Akers to reach up and grab the huge satellite by hand but it got a grip for
different i think that away and we're watching down here we get into here then
it was and still is the only spacewalk ever performed by three people the
flight set a host of other records including the most spacewalks on a
shuttle mission to date the longest spacewalk to date and the longest
spacewalk by a female to date endeavor continue that trend on its second
mission sts-48 seven in September 1992 a flight that conducted Japanese research
in a laboratory in the cargo bay the crew included the first african-american
female to fly in space astronaut made jenison important for people to
understand if you know that yes right we do and are willing to accept women and
minority of that minority that astronauts had hoped
I'm just a person along line and out of african-american women who will be
involved in the space program and we have liftoff liftoff of the space
shuttle Endeavour on an ambitious mission to service the Hubble Space
Telescope in December 1993 endeavor was called upon to carry out the most
ambitious shuttle mission to date on sds 61 the first hubble space telescope
servicing mission that have never had a problem with taco with the world riveted
on the missions every move seven astronauts restored Hubble's vision
during an unprecedented five spacewalks
the back-to-back TVA's were completed by two teams of space walkers who outfitted
Hubble with a corrective optics instrument called co-star installed a
second-generation wide field planetary camera at that table you have to kill
you and replaced Hubble's solar arrays the mission lasted 11 days endeavor
further push the boundaries of shuttle missions in March 1995 on sds 67
affluent astronomy mission that became the longest shuttle flight to date
amassing over 16 days 15 hours in orbit conducting its studies with the suite of
astro one science instruments in the payload Bay the mission showcase the
capabilities of the shuttles find steering jets a system used to hold the
instrument stable enough to focus on the stars and celestial phenomena as
endeavor circle the Earth at more than 17,000 miles per hour to later missions
for endeavor continued the spacecraft's expansion of shuttle capabilities on sts
69 in September 1995 endeavor became the first shuttle to release and recapture
two satellites during a single mission and later on mission st s 77 in May 1996
and ever completed a record for rendezvous in orbit with a research
platform called Spartan and ready to fly
two years later in December 1998 endeavor was used to christen a new era
in world space exploration sts 88 would be the first international space station
assembly mission and endeavors halo day was the node one unity module the first
u.s. component of the space station zaria the Russian functional cargo block
module had been flown to orbit a few weeks earlier on a Russian proton rocket
from Kazakhstan after endeavors rendezvous with zaria mission specialist
Nancy curry use the shuttle's robotic arm to captures area and made it to
unity completing the very first ISS assembly operation we have captured
kayak we copy congratulations
the crew of the good ship and never that's terrific
several days later endeavors crew became the first to board the new international
space station mission commander Bob Cabana and russian cosmonaut sergei
krikalev off open the hatches and enter the new international outpost together
we are pleased and excited and proud to be a part of the team that note that
happen in our special thanks to all for all the hard work
remembering universe Kristen aluminum self and others that the hardware when
endeavor made its next trip to the international space station on $STREET
sts 97 and late november two thousand the space station was occupied by the
expedition one crew and endeavour became the first shuttle to visit a crew aboard
the station during sts 97 endeavor was used to deliver and install the first
set of us solar arrays the hatches state closed between endeavor and the station
for five days to allow the shuttle crew to conduct three spacewalks from
endeavors airlock after the EPA's were completed the hatches were opened and
crew of expedition one welcomed its visitors you request for making a couple
board on April nineteenth 2001 endeavor headed to orbit on sts-107 mission
delivered a new era in space robotics to the station 258 footlong canadarm2
endeavors group performed the first operations in history using two robotic
arms in space working together endeavors robotic arm plus the new station are to
complete the mission dual robotics operations would become a mainstay of
future station construction near the end of the mission as the big arm handed it
scarier to endeavors robotic arm it marked the first robotic handshake in
space between 2003 and 2006 endeavor received a series of upgrades and safety
modifications its first flight after those upgrades was sts-118 and august
two thousand seven the mission was a fitting 14 endeavor as the crew included
mission specialist and educator astronaut barbara morgan who served as
the back of teacher in space to christa mcauliffe who was lost in the Challenger
accident
Morgan made her historic flight aboard endeavor to fulfill McAuliffe's legacy
from apply more than anything committee are very special people driving the
metric here too and that was the Challenger crew they will make
lord I believe the architecture of the building when endeavor completes its
final mission it will have traveled more than 115 million miles during 25 trips
to space it will have carried 139 different people into orbit
although endeavor was the final space shuttle to be built its career has been
one of firsts and its legacy will be one of opening humanity's greatest I on the
universe and expanding the space frontier for nations around the world
for an out-of-this-world space laboratory
and every program
Roger roll endeavour
yeah
I can't hear about the only person
and it doesn't have TV coverage of the food and it man you got the black up now
you're gonna be the one getting a TV picture is failure we are getting a
I want all
bad way
