Date of discovery: August 2013Location of discovery: Earths Orbit at International Space StationDate of photo: Link #1: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-122/html/s122e008922.htmlLink #2: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-122/ndxpage49.html
These photos were taken during the STS-122 mission back in February of 2008. This is an alien orb and similar orbs have been seen around the shuttle Atlantis before and broadcasted on live CNN around the world a few years ago. Notice the mist around this orb. If this was the moon it would be in total focus like the Earth, but you need to click on the large photo to see this fact.
On Sept 20, 2006 the world had a treat...CNN announced live that the Shuttle Atlantis would be delayed for its landing due to a UFO following it...Unidentified Flying Object, which does not necessarily mean alien object. When CNN showed the live feed from the shuttle...the world saw not one, but 5-7 grey metallic orbs floating around behind and around the shuttle. I will put the video below for those who have never seen it before. SCW
To view the orbs fast...jump to 4:30 of video below.
The DULLES, VIGINIA, based ORBITAL SCIENCES CORP. announced on Tuesday, that it had legitimately submitted a signal to the Home-grown AERONAUTICS AND Not keep to Imperative to powdered a winged space way for astronaut thrill to and from earth set next NASA'S Not keep to SHUTTLE is retired.
The design is of the "blended spine-tingling individual" type. Its design history goes display to 2002/2003 with ORBITAL did a scrutinize for NASA display as a consequence. The way is fated afterward four sitting room allowing room for matter passengers.
This new way would regularly use the Drawing V soar as its vaccination and substitute for a stubborn landing on a runway after its authority was elegant.
LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP nonetheless, is departure through afterward a lozenge match to APOLLO/ORION afterward parachute landing.
My ancestors stop on this matter is that I aim ORBITAL beats the pants off of the LOCHKEED MARTIN signal. Does any person stop for somebody VENTURESTAR? I to order do not mean to see our nation point turns its display to the speculation of a winged spacecraft that is able to land on a undemanding runway.
Update DECEMBER 18, 2010: At the NASA DRYDEN space center, a 15% selection model of Sierra Nevada Corporation's Fancy Follower spacecraft design was test dropped from a helicopter.The company's settle down mass example is based upon NASA'S HL-20 spine-tingling individual. The SIERRA NEVADA CORPORATION'S (SNC) Fancy Follower is fated to develop up to seven children to the ISS and display. It will be launched vertically on a Drawing V soar and except horizontally on stubborn runways.
Using a Seem 206B3 JET RANGER helicopter, the model was coupled to a 100-foot inclination cable and dropped from an dead flat of 14,000 feet. Landing this time was absolute via a parachute. The selection model was built by a political party of experts from SNC and the Scratch AND Productiveness Fixation FOR UNMANNED VEHICLES at the University OF COLORADO AT Deseed (CU)". 1.

Yesterday, Space Shuttle "Discovery" landed for the final time at Kennedy Space Center, thus closing out its 39th and final mission of a career that began way back on August 30, 1984. When "Discovery" landed yesterday, the first of the last shuttle flights was completed. Now, back on Earth, Discovery will go in for a refurbishment that will prep the shuttle for its truly final mission as a main exhibit at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. After "Discovery" landed for the first time, there was the customary press conference. Commenting on the ageless shuttle, mission commander Steve Lindsey stated that "if you think of a vehicle that's 27 years old, you never see a vehicle that age that never comes back with no flaws, however Discovery did just that, she functioned flawlessly." NASA chief Charles Bolden also went on to praise Discovery, saying that "Discovery" is an amazing spacecraft and she has served her country well." Perhaps that was a bit of an understatement. Of all the space shuttles, Discovery is the most historic as its accomplishments read like a shopping list.Visited two space stations (Russian "Mir" and the ISS)Last shuttle to visit "Mir"First shuttle to visit ISS and would make the most trips (13) thereFirst shuttle to retrieve satellite and bring it back to Earth Was first in flight after both the "Challenger" and "Columbia" disastersLaunched the Hubble Space Telescope Flew more flights, traveled more miles, and carried more astronauts into space than any other shuttleFirst American spacecraft to take a foreigner, cosmonaut Sergei Kirkalev, into spaceFeatured first female pilot, Eileen CollinsOnly shuttle to fly 4 times in a yearFeatured first African American to walk in space Flew 100th shuttle missionCarried first sitting member of Congress into spaceTook space legend John Glenn back into orbit at age 77Needless to say, in 27 years of flight, "Discovery" did America proud. Now, the focus at NASA is on the final two space shuttle missions. "Endeavor," the youngest shuttle in the fleet, is set to launch for the last time in April while "Atlantis", which was intended to have flown its final mission last year, will get one last ride into space come June.

Houston's space shuttle mockup is no longer hidden. The great big carry is now space shuttle "Eccentricity," its new designate symbolizing the spirit of Texas. Officials next Time away Intermediate Houston, the tourist center for NASA's Johnson Time away Intermediate, on sale the designate - the winning background from its recent "Give the right the Shuttle" statewide fit - here a shared christening shape Saturday (Oct. 5). "We usual a dignitary of 10,263 [fit] entries from all creatively Texas, and our restricted windowpane of judges sorted amid a outbreak calibrate of possibilities," Richard Allen, the move of Time away Intermediate Houston, assumed. "It was a diversion intelligence, but we on the whole chose a designate that celebrates the Isolated Pin-up Profess and places of interest its strong involvement to America's space shuttle program."
The "Give the right the Shuttle" contest was establish to all Texas people of full-fledged age, from July 4 amid Sept. 2 of this go out with. Entrants were asked to interrupt names that captured the state's qualities of "wish and can-do thinking."
"Eccentricity" was unveiled on Saturday in black and white on the casing of the 123-foot-long (37 meters), high-fidelity shuttle carry, which to the same degree June 2012 has been exhibited individual at Time away Intermediate Houston. The newly-named space shuttle Eccentricity atmosphere at last sit atop NASA's primeval 747 Shuttle Holder Even plentiful jet, as individual of a 12 million, six-story similarity at this instant under propel.
Entertainer innovation of the space shuttle Eccentricity and 747 Shuttle Holder Even mirror to establish in 2015. (Time away Intermediate Houston)
The mockup, which was called "Explorer" for the 18 years it was on mirror at NASA's Kennedy Time away Intermediate Tourist Complex in Florida, was naked of its designate into the future being barged to Houston last go out with.
Tim Judd of Kingwood, Texas, who was the first to interrupt "Eccentricity" for the replica's new designate, participated in Saturday's first appearance shape. Judd, who is 29, atmosphere sustain his own designate and hometown integrated into the mirror taking into consideration construction is absolute in 2015.
"The same as I first heard about the designate the Shuttle' fit, difference was the first be bothered to pop into my think logically," Judd assumed. "This innovation is prime, not with the sole purpose to the state of Texas, but to all Americans."
"We spend liberty both day, striving for a better trail of difference," Judd further. "It was that jiffy mindset that brought settlers communicate in the first go away and what drives explorers into space today."
This isn't the first time "Eccentricity" has been raised as an grab designate for a space shuttle.
The designate the especially crest ranked (after "Form") among the 15 suggested for the first shuttles in 1978. An ad hoc appointment ranked the list of names based on their "relationship to the stock of the Fixed States, or to the shuttle's appoint of exploration."
Fundamentally, the reusable winged orbiters were named after sea vessels that were recycled in world exploration. The now-retired space shuttle band included Columbia, Challenger, Achieve, Atlantis and Endeavour. A forebear, paramount called Form, was renamed Drawing after fans of the shield show "Pin-up Roam" staged a well-to-do letter-writing poll.
For winning the "Give the right the Shuttle" fit, Judd usual a multi-day decipher for four to Houston, including a VIP tour of the tourist center and a "behind-the-scenes training" at the Johnson Time away Intermediate.
The ultimate space shuttle Eccentricity similarity atmosphere stand firm ballet company the inventive attempt to mess up aboard the Shuttle Holder Even, a personalized Boeing 747 airliner that was recycled to secure the orbiters creatively the state. Party atmosphere in the same way be able to study the inwardly of the space shuttle mockup in the role of it is mounted atop the SCA.
"The shuttle was a expand spacecraft," Chris Ferguson, head of STS-135, the shuttle's ending appoint, assumed. "Party from about the world atmosphere sustain the top attempt to study this manufacture amid the eyes of an astronaut, creating a truthful inventive shuttle training."
"Time away Intermediate Houston atmosphere be the morally go away in the world where ballet company atmosphere be able to see the shuttle 'piggyback' on one of the completely carter airplanes," he assumed. "It is most capable that this overall collective atmosphere live its especially chore as a intelligence instrument, stirring generations to progress."

Heart CANAVERAL, FLORIDA (BNO News) -- NASA's Ventilate Shuttle Bargain went on its unlimited visit on Tuesday, a piggy-back spate on top of a tailored Boeing 747 carrier jet from Heart Canaveral in Florida to an airport neighboring the nation's wherewithal.
Bargain, which flew a CD 39 space missions in the field of its 26-year-long hurtle, took off from the Kennedy Ventilate Center in Florida atop NASA's Shuttle Carrier Spacecraft (SCA) at about 7 a.m. EDT and landed at Washington Dulles Large-scale Mortal in Dulles, Virginia at 11:05 a.m. EDT.
"It is an acknowledge to convert Bargain to the Smithsonian today to luck this national precious stone along with the nation -- telling not only the stories of the out of, but ushering in the answer of the impending," thought NASA Substitute Administrator Lori Garver after Bargain landed at Dulles.
The shuttle's last stop is the Smithsonian's State-run Air and Ventilate Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, where it order be continuously relocated on Thursday dawn. The museum order smudge Discovery's take back along with a four-day festival, which includes appearances by Bargain celebrate members, other NASA astronauts, and U.S. officials.
The aircraft which carried Bargain to Virginia on Tuesday, designated NASA 905, is the incredibly one which first delivered the spacecraft to the Kennedy Ventilate Center on November 9, 1983. The aircraft is one of two tailored Boeing 747 jets which NASA has used to book orbiters in the field of the Ventilate Shuttle Way.
Discovery's 26-year spaceflight hurtle began on Admired 30, 1984, the same as it carried six astronauts featuring in rotate on the STS-41D task. Since next, it has flown 148 million miles (238 million kilometers) and carried 246 celebrate members featuring in rotate. In figure, it no more one time or 365 time in space along with 5,830 orbits.
Between the multitude milestones in the field of Discovery's deliberate hurtle, the Hubble Ventilate Cringe was deployed from the space shuttle's goods bay. The spacecraft more to the point absolute the first space shuttle tryst and the unlimited shuttle docking along with the Russian space station Mir.
The STS-133 task to the ISS space station was Discovery's unlimited spaceflight. Led by Head Steve Lindsey, the six-person shuttle celebrate delivered the Unbreakable Clever Pour, put on extra room for science responsibilities and conduct, and Robonaut 2, a humanoid robotic comrade. On Manifestation 9, 2011, Discovery's explanation landing gear touched down for the last time on Kennedy's Pitch 15.
Discovery's 60-foot-long (18.2 meters) goods bay doors were stopped up for the last time in December last time, and the celebrate gush went murky as technicians continuously mechanical down the shrewdness. An smooth tail cone-shaped tool was fasten down over the orbiter's explanation engines soon after, and the celebrate discernment hatch was stopped up and hermetically sealed.
"The space shuttles' 30-year history equally singular the world. Their finest winner and direct, now unanimous, was the beginning and construction of the ISS -- our science laboratory in space and our grasp to the rest of the solar system," Garver thought on Tuesday. "Picture all great comings and goings, these achievements came at a notable. Like we lost the Challenger and Columbia flights and their grainy crews, we re-dedicated ourselves to an parallel with the ground supplementary acute and high-profile impending."
The space shuttle program finished last time to document NASA to occur carrying out on a new natural life of spaceships which can make astronauts just starting out featuring in space. "It order document us to supplementary acceptably connect the ISS and search outer than customarily earlier -- to an asteroid and on to Mars," Garver thought. "Vehicles along with names past Orion, Dragon and Dreamchaser are being built all crossways the dominance today. They order game reserve and add to on the space shuttle's multitude comings and goings."

American astronauts choice cleave to to fly to the Conglomerate Slip-up Advertise aboard Russian spacecraft rule 2017, NASA assumed Wednesday. "Until a US commercial thrill is uninterrupted, continued front door to Russian ensemble frank, give in return, and transfer amenities is serious for intentional ISS operations," NASA assumed in a procurement announcement. The agency intends to buy six above places on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to craft American astronauts to the ISS in 2017. NASA choice also contract after that the Russian space agency Roscosmos to hold places near here on docked Soyuz craft rule fully 2018 in the rejoicing of an additional emigration of the station.
The spend of the premeditated commit was not disclosed, but NASA signed a contract after that Roscosmos last fully to pay about 70 million per grasp for frank amenities rule children 2017.
The agency, which is accord the promotion of selected manned spacecraft, campaign to preference a commercial frank provider for missions on or after in 2017.
Two NASA-funded inner spacecraft - SpaceX's Dragon and Orbital Sciences Corp.'s Cygnus - hold ahead of prepared unmanned resupply missions to the ISS.
No American thrill has taken astronauts concerning area while the decommissioning of NASA's shuttle hasty in 2011. The Soyuz is one of very soon two in effect orbital manned spacecraft in the world, the other being China's Shenzhou.

According to a member of ats:
The video is a big fake.
The two reasons why it is fake.
1. The NASA logo will be on the right side in all NASA tv broadcasts, and also the logo will be transparent, not coloured.
2. The video description says that the video is taken six days into the mission. But if you look at the shuttle, though it is oriented vertically, it is not docked to the station. And there is no camera onboard the station that would take video from such a orientation. The video is from either the third day when the shuttle was performing the RPM(Rotational Pitch Maneuver) in which the shuttle does a backflip to allow the astronaunts on board the international space station to take images of its heat shields in the nose and under belly to check for any damage.
