Title
Endeavour on Runway with Columbia on SCA Overhead
Full Description
The Space Shuttle Endeavour receives a high-flying salute from its
sister Shuttle Columbia, atop NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, shortly
after its landing Oct. 12, 1994 at Edwards, California, to complete
mission STS-68.
Columbia was being ferried from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida to
Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale, California, where it will undergo six
months of inspections, modifications, and systems upgrades. The STS-68
11-day mission was devoted to radar imaging of Earth's geological
features with the Space Radar Laboratory. The orbiter is surrounded by
equipment and personnel that make up the ground support convoy that
services the space vehicles as soon as they land.
