EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Rockwell Space Shuttle Orbiter OV-101 Enterprise, the first orbiter ever built by Rockwell International for NASA. Unlike its successors, Enterprise was not upgraded for flight status but was instead dedicated to atmospheric flight testing. The image captures the Orbiter during transport operations, likely between its homes at the Udvar-Hazy Center in Washington D.C. and the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum in New York, around the year 2000. The Enterprise's distinctive white exterior and intricate design elements are on full display as it rests atop its transport vehicle, surrounded by a sea of workers and support equipment. As an aeronautical marvel, the Space Shuttle Orbiter represents a pivotal moment in space exploration history. Its innovative design and groundbreaking testing paved the way for future space missions, making it an invaluable piece of aviation history.
