The visit to the LA’s space shuttle highlighted the story that began in a small town of Palmdale, an hour drive from Los Angeles where a space shuttle was built in a galaxy called the Milky-Way. The space shuttle flew over 100 million miles and was in the outer space for over one year of its lifetime. The dynamic shuttle finally retired to its sunny hometown and continues to delight and educate school children.
The Endeavor made its final historic flight in 2015 followed by a breathtaking road trip along the streets of LA and arrived home at the California Science Centre where it has since lived at the Oschin Pavilion. Endeavour’s first mission was to capture and repair a malfunctioning Intelsat-VI-satellite. The space shuttle Endeavour arrives …show more content…
It is also the room that has improved medicines to fight diseases. The “galley” implied as a kitchen where astronauts cook/heat their food. Toilet seats, it also called waste collection system, how amazingly they were made and neatly designed to fit the astronaut’s needs! A look from the back I can recognize three big bell-shaped engines were you would assume where the burning come out from. The museum has a small model similar to one of these three engines. According to http://californiasciencecenter.org, (SSMEs) space shuttle main engines work altogether with a little help from a solid rocket booster to help lifting the shuttle to the specific orbit. They also have been reuse by NASA as they are the most expensive advanced large rocket engines in the whole world.
Finally, the most important section was the Rocketdyne Operations Support Center (ROSC) it looks more like a balcony for visitors to a big operation room. It is indeed a control room located here in southern California, Canoga Park. The major role was to monitor the space shuttle main engines which I talked about before in all the space shuttle! This used to be located at Canoga Park back in the day and in case of emergency the staff might move and get to work in a similar room at Florida. “The energy released by an SSME when it’s operating is equal to the output of more than four Hoover
