Space Forum / Shuttle / May 2005A shuttle on both pads?
Will we ever see both launch pads with a shuttle at the same time again, or are those days gone? captai...@yahoo.com wrote: > Will we ever see both launch pads with a shuttle at the same time > again, or are those days gone? Unlikely. Since all shuttle flights are going to ISS now, there will be a forced spacing between missions to simplify supply logistics and to match crew transfers. And there aren't many missions left. - Ed Kyle >captai...@yahoo.com wrote: >> Will we ever see both launch pads with a shuttle at the same time [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >And there aren't many missions left. If the Hubble Servicing Mission is restored, I'd wager we'll see both pads occupied so that the next ISS mission can be on standby to rescue the HST Servicing Shuttle, if needed.

And, if NASA gets the go-ahead to do shuttle-derived launchers for Project Constellation, one of the pads is likely to be taken out of commission in a year or two for rebuilding. Along with an MLP or two. - Ed Kyle |
