Whenever an aerospace program is grounded for a prolonged period  the first flight after the grounding is often called the Return-to-Flight. After 30 months of work  NASA launched the Space Shuttle Programs Return-to-Flight  STS-114  using Discovery. This flight was the most photographed Space Shuttle flight ever  with numerous cameras on the ground  ships  and aircraft tracking the vehicle during ascent  and the crew of the International Space Station taking a series of detailed photographs as the Orbiter approached the ISS. In addition  the crew of the Discovery used cameras in the cockpit and on a long  robotic arm to examine almost every inch of the Orbiter. The result was some stunning photography that shows the Space Shuttle in ways that have never before been seen. It is presented here  in full color  as the program readies to fly the second Return-to-Flight launch  STS-121  also using Discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45792392937525,"sku":"ByrdShop_158007104X","price":240.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781580071048.jpg?v=1784748279","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/return-to-flight-space-shuttle-discovery-photo-scrapbook-9781580071048","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
