That bat also flitted away tosafety during liftoff, they added. NASAofficials said a bat also set down on the external tank for the shuttleColumbia during its STS-90 mission in 1998. That one maybe have been a bit more cautious,though: It flew away to safety right before launch.Ĭoincidentally,an astronaut aboard that flight, Koichi Wakata of Japan, also flew on Discoverythis week, making him the first spaceflyer to share two rides with bats.Discovery's STS-119 mission is headed to the International Space Station todrop off the final segment of the lab's backbone truss and set of solar arraypanels. Another bat was seenclinging to the side of the external tank attached to the shuttle Endeavour onits ?STS-72 flight in 1996. This isn'tthe first time a bat has attempted to travel into space. 'Systems Engineering andIntegration performed a debris analysis on him and ultimately a Launch CommitCriteria waiver to ICE-01 was written to accept the stowaway.' 'Thebat eventually became 'Interim Problem Report 119V-0080' after the ICE teamfinished their walkdown,' the memo said. Ultimately, NASA officials signed a waiver confirming that the bat wassafe to fly with. In thehours before Discovery's liftoff, NASA's Final Inspection Team (called the'ICE team') investigated whether the creature would pose a riskto the shuttle if its body impacted the orbiter's sensitive heat shieldtiling. NASA has completed its latest round of X-ray scans on thespace shuttle Discoverys external fuel tank, only to find more small cracks onthe beleaguered. The bat was perched between one quarter and one third of the way up on the northside of the fuel tank, which is the side that faces away from the orbiter.NASA estimated the surface temperature of the tank at that location was between58 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, even though the canister was filled withsuper-cold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

NASA also relies on radar to make sure large flocks of birds won?t bestruck by the shuttle during liftoff.īut the baton Discovery's tank did not budge, even after engine ignition. ?Theanimal likely perished quickly during Discovery?s climb into orbit.?īecause the Kennedy Space Center is also home to Florida?s Merritt IslandNational Wildlife Refuge, NASA?s launch pads are equipped with severalcountermeasures, including warning sirens, to ward off birds and otherwildlife. LEGO has produced various renditions of the Space Shuttle and 10283NASA Space Shuttle Discovery appears exceedingly accurate.

These sets offer a detailed and realistic depiction of the iconic spacecraft and provide a fun and challenging building experience.?Based onimages and video, a wildlife expert who provides support to the center said thesmall creature was a free tail bat that likely had a broken left wing and someproblem with its right shoulder or wrist,? NASA officials said Tuesday. Discovery flew more missions than any other shuttle, deploying the Hubble Space Telescope and helping to build the International Space Station too. in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake, President Donald Trump on Monday said he still plans to make the Kenosha trip. The first recognisable LEGO Space Shuttle appeared in Set 1682 Space Shuttle Launch back in 1990 and we’ve had more than ten further iterations since. The brick set NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) set and the External Fuel Tank & SRB Addon are designed for older builders and collectors who are interested in space exploration and NASA’s history. Fans of NASA’s Space Shuttle have been well served by LEGO, with a multitude of sets featuring the iconic Space Shuttle orbiter having been released over the years. The set also includes a display stand for the complete stack. It includes additional components that make up the complete space shuttle stack, including the external fuel tank and two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) that attach to the sides of the fuel tank. The External Fuel Tank & SRB Addon is an expansion set that can be added to the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set. Introducing our proud collection named “NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) – External Fuel Tank & SRB Addon” you should not miss. Product Name: NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) – External Fuel Tank & SRB Addon It also lacks the solid rocket boosters and external tank of Expedition, but more than makes up for it with a Hubble Space Telescope model and some very. ✅The NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) is a brick building set that replicates the space shuttle Discovery, a retired orbiter that was used for various missions by NASA. 2021s Discovery is far more accurate and, while considerably larger than its 10-year-old sibling, certainly wont be squeezing any full-sized minifigs on the impressively modelled flight deck.
