Evacuation and Airlift of Space Shuttle Crew STS 117

This 61 second movie clip shows personnel from NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center and Edwards Air Force Base conducted a training exercise on May 5, 2007, that would enable them to effectively handle the rescue of a space shuttle crew in the unlikely event of a landing mishap at the base. The exercises are held periodically to train Air Force fire/rescue and medical crews in aiding the shuttle crew in exiting the shuttle after a simulated landing mishap on or near the Edwards runway, escaping from the mishap area, and after triage assessment, safely evacuating injured crew members. Although NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida is the landing site of choice for space shuttle missions, Edwards AFB remains the primary alternate landing site in case weather or other situations preclude Florida as a landing option.

Space Shuttle Discovery Night Launch STS-116 9 December 2006 HD

Video Courtesy NASA www.nasa.gov STS-116 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Discovery.

The shuttle landed at 5:32 pm EST on Friday, December 22, 2006 at Kennedy Space Center, a delay of 98 minutes from schedule due to unfavorable weather conditions. This mission was particularly notable to Sweden since it’s the first time a Scandinavian astronaut (Christer Fuglesang) has visited space. STS-116 was the final scheduled Space Shuttle flight planned for launch from Pad 39B as NASA reconfigures the pad for Ares I launches.[2] The only remaining use of Pad 39B by Shuttles is as a reserve for a potential STS-3xx rescue mission for STS-125, the final Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission.[3] STS-116 was the last flight of Discovery before maintenance; the next Discovery mission was STS-120, which launched …
