A photograph looking down over the port side wing of NASA’s Space Shuttle. The top of the image shows the port side of the fuselage with the US flag and the words UNITED STATES printed on the side with a blue NASA circular logo. The wing stretches down the bottom of the image, showing its white upper surface and the larger blue NASA “meatball” logo painted on prominently.

When the time came to take #NASA’s Space #Shuttle #Discovery to the Smithsonian near Washington, the Shuttle Carrier #Aircraft was employed, as it usually was when the #SpaceShuttle needed to move.
This required the #Orbiter to be moved inside a truss-work structured called the Mate-Demate #Device, lifted up by cranes, and the #Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Airfcraft moved underneath for the Shuttle to be secured for transport.
An aerodynamic tail cone makes the #SCA easier to control.
The #MDD is next to the Shuttle Landing Facility.

A photograph of Space Shuttle Orbiter Discovery. It is a plane-like glider with a white top and black heat-shield bottom. It is being lifted up inside a metal truss-work structure called the Mate-Demate Device. A Boeing 747 airplane has been moved inside the structure under the Shuttle, allowing Discovery to be mounted on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft.

After four days of fun, it’s done. Here it is, all 2,354 pieces, in their full glory.

Now back to the build (day 3). Looks like we’re in the home stretch, probably the penultimate day. Again, I had a 4yo helper. She’s getting really good.

Day 2 of the build. Last time I did a big build, 4yo was 3. So, it’s fun to see her little fingers able to do more of the work. She wants to be an astronaut. So she really likes it when I work on spaceships.

2,354 pieces! They get me. They really get me. :) Looks like I know what I’ll be doing for the next little while.

It's always a treat to visit this gorgeous girl.
