It’s impressive just how big it is in person. The last time I was at Udvar-Hazy, the Space Shuttle was still operational. Six Orbiters were built but only five went into space. The first one, Enterprise, only did atmospheric testing and was originally here at Udvar-Hazy, but was replaced by Discovery pictured here and Enterprise went to the Intrepid Museum in NYC. Columbia made 28 spaceflights before it was lost on re-entry in 2003. Challenger made 10 spaceflights before it was lost on launch in 1986. Discovery made 39 spaceflights before it was retired in 2011 and put on display at Udvar-Hazy in 2012. Atlantis made 33 spaceflights before it was retired and put on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Endeavour was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. It made 25 flights and will go on display at the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center in Los Angeles when it is completed next year. Interestingly the three spaceworthy Orbiters are displayed differently. We’ve seen Atlantis at the KSC, it’s displayed in orbital configuration with its payload bay doors open. Discovery at Udvar-Hazy is displayed in landing configuration on its landing gear. When Oschin at Los Angeles opens, Endeavour will be displayed in launch configuation with the external tank and soild rocket boosters. <p>Space Shuttle Orbiter Discovery at the Udvar-Hazy Center of the Smithsonian this past Monday.
