Title
Endeavour with Columbia Ferry Flyby
Full Description
The Space Shuttle Endeavour receives a high-flying salute from its
sister shuttle, Columbia, atop NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, shortly
after Endeavor's landing October 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.
