3-23.jpg	aft_fuselage_2-small.gif	Note only Columbia has the black glove/chine. In 1985, the black SILTS pod was added to the rudder tip. 90rovercColumbia.jpg	95rovere.jpg STS-95/Glenn	ksc-98ec-1061.jpg
Also see Phil Broad's Atlantis Real Hardware Web Page on this CD		Compare dark elevon hinge shields Columbia and other orbiters used to have with lighter ones shown in the next photo	Discovery sporting 1998 change in markings to the NASA "meatball", as well as white elevon hinge shields.

Right hand belly ET interface door, looking aft. Opened for inspection after landing	Note the Umbilical doors in this belly view. A "T" latch holds them flush against the orbiter until after ET sep, when the doors close and latch shut.

sts3-touchdownwith-2-t38.jpg	sts37-Landing-EdwAFB.jpg	Other landing photos are in folders covering other missions. Such as STS-47 and Endeavour's NON-STS-47 missions.	STS047-S-117.jpg	9266267_STS-52_Columbia.jpg

In the early 1990's, the orbiters' vertical tails were modified to house and deploy a drag chute on landing. Endeavour had it built-in from the start. Not known which orbiter these two photos are from.	Drag_Chute_Door_left.jpg	Drag_Chute_Door_right.jpg	Endeavour after STS-47 landing	Drag_Chute_Compartment.jpg

T-0 Umbilical Plates Aft Compartment of orbiters have T-0 umbilical connections on the sides. These carry Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen to load the ET, as well as various other connections from the pad to the shuttle. They stay connected until liftoff, thus the "T-0" name.	umbinterface.JPG	umbinterface2.JPG	Repeat of drawing thumbnail, shows where these are located	aft_fuselage_2-small.gif

		Also see Phil Broad's Atlantis Real Hardware Web Page on this CD	NOTE: When orbiters such as Atlantis seen at Phil Broad's site have been overhauled in California, the OMS pods and forward RSC modules are removed at KSC and replaced with dummies for the flight out and back. If you look carefullly you will see the forward RSC module and OMS pods are too "clean" and simple.
