NASA's lone remaining space shuttle, the Atlantis, departed the Kennedy Space Center on Friday for its final journey, a 10-mile trek to the spaceport Visitor Complex, where it will go on display.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- By dawn's early light today, the shuttle Atlantis was hauled out of the cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building for the last time, rolling not to the launch pad but to the spaceport Visitor Complex 10 miles away, where it will go on public display next year -- the last of the iconic winged orbiters to make the transition to Earth-bound museum duty.
Mounted atop a 76-wheel transporter, Atlantis was slowly rolled out of the VAB starting at 3:30 a.m. PT, cheered on by a crowd of several hundred spaceport workers; a throng of reporters and photographers; and the ship's last crew.
The shuttle Atlantis begins its final voyage, a 9.8-mile trip to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where it will go on display next year.
Commander Christopher Ferguson, pilot Douglas Hurley, flight engineer Rex Walheim, and Sandra Magnus watched the final shuttle rollout with a mixture of emotions. They were on board when Atlantis blasted off on NASA's 135th and final shuttle flight on July 8, 2011.
"It's great to see Atlantis again," said Ferguson, who now works for Boeing. "Strange to see it horizontal in the VAB. My opinion is it looks better vertically!... But it's got a new role. The visitor's center here is going to be gorgeous, that's a very fitting display."
The long-awaited move marked the last time a space shuttle would be seen in motion, following similar museum runs for the prototype shuttle Enterprise, now on display at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City; the shuttle Discovery, on display at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles International Airport outside Washington; and the shuttle Endeavour, which was hauled through the streets of Los Angeles last month to the California Science Center.
"I went to see Discovery at the Smithsonian, which was great, but I walked in and that first look was like, 'oh, this doesn't belong here, this belongs in space!'" said Magnus, now the executive director of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
"But it was really neat to stand there and look at all the people, they were all excited to see the space shuttle and there were conversations going on and I passed parents who were pointing out things to their kids. And that was really neat, to see people appreciating them the way they need to be appreciated."
Christopher Ferguson, commander of Atlantis' final mission, shared anecdotes about the orbiter before rollout Friday.

Shuttle Atlantis, NASA's last orbiter, departs for museum duty
NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter, already the longest-working spacecraft ever sent to Mars, will switch to some fresh, redundant equipment next week that has not been used since before launch in 2001.
Like many spacecraft, this orbiter carries a pair of redundant main computers, so that a backup is available if one fails. Odyssey's "A-side" computer and "B-side" computer each have several other redundant subsystems linked to just that computer. The Odyssey team has decided to switch to the B-side computer to begin using the B-side's inertial measurement unit. This gyroscope-containing mechanism senses changes in the spacecraft's orientation, providing important information for control of pointing the antenna, solar arrays and instruments.
"We have been on the A side for more than 11 years. Everything on the A side still works, but the inertial measurement unit on that side has been showing signs of wearing out," said Odyssey Mission Manager Chris Potts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We will swap to the B side on Nov. 5 so that we still have some life available in reserve on the A side."
In many potential problem situations, the Odyssey's autonomous fault-protection response would switch the spacecraft from the active side to the other side. By preserving the capability of switching back to a fully functional A side, the mission continues to have the available protection of switching sides temporarily and correcting any fixable anomaly on the B side.
"The spare inertial measurement unit is factory new, last operated on the day before launch," Potts said.
Odyssey launched April 7, 2001, began orbiting Mars on Oct. 24 of that year, began systematic science observations of Mars in early 2002, and broke the previous record for longest-working Mars spacecraft in December 2010.
The side swap on Nov. 5 will intentionally put Odyssey into a reduced-activity status called "safe mode." As the team and the spacecraft verify all systems can operate well over the following several days, the orbiter will return to full operations, conducting its own science observations, as well as serving as a communications relay for NASA's active Mars rovers Opportunity and Curiosity.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which shares the data relay return responsibility for the rovers at Mars, will carry the full burden of relay support for both rovers -- Opportunity and Curiosity -- during Odyssey's side-swap period. There will be a reduction in the total amount of relay data returned from Mars. The rover teams will reduce the amount of data planned for downlinking until Odyssey returns to full capacity after the side swap is complete, and will maintain near-normal tactical operations in the interim.
Odyssey's longevity enables continued science, including the monitoring of seasonal changes on Mars from year to year, and continued communication-relay service.
Odyssey is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver built the spacecraft. JPL and Lockheed Martin collaborate on operating the spacecraft. For more about the Mars Odyssey mission, visit: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/odyssey .

LOS ANGELES (AP) A California judge has tentatively ruled in favor of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in a wrongful termination lawsuit brought by a former computer specialist who alleged he was singled out in part because of his belief in intelligent design.
Superior Court Judge Ernest Hiroshige issued a tentative ruling Thursday saying he was leaning toward finding in favor of JPL, which had argued at trial that David Coppedge was let go because he was combative and did not keep his skills sharp, not because of his belief that life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone.
Hiroshige, who presided over the civil trial in April, ordered a final ruling drawn up and distributed within 30 days.
Coppedge, a self-described evangelical Christian, had worked on NASA's Cassini mission to explore Saturn for 15 years until he was dismissed in 2011.
His attorney, William Becker, argued that Coppedge was let go because he advocated for intelligent design in the workplace, handed out DVDs on the theory and argued with a colleague about Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California.
In his lawsuit, Coppedge claimed he was demoted in 2009 and then let go for engaging his co-workers in conversations about his views.
Becker argued at trial that a supervisor told Coppedge to "stop pushing your religion," and that Coppedge was retaliated against for disputing a written warning and filing a lawsuit against the lab.
The case has been closely followed by intelligent design supporters, but Becker said the one-paragraph tentative ruling should not be seen as a referendum on the theory.
"It does not specify the court's reasoning and it would be foolhardy to discern from its general language that the court had anything to say about the validity of intelligent design as a scientific theory or as a religious belief," Becker said. "We don't believe it was about religious belief, but David's co-workers perceived it as one and that's equally offensive under the law."
At trial, JPL attorney Cameron Fox contended Coppedge was a stubborn and disconnected employee who decided not to heed warnings to get additional training, even when it became clear the Cassini mission would be downsized and computer specialist positions eliminated.

Camilla at 124,000 feet during her fifth trip to the edge of space. (Image: Earth to Sky Calculus)
Without a shiny new rover prancing around on Mars shooting rocks with lasers, it can be tough for other NASA missions to get any attention these days. So theSolar Dynamics Observatory has turned to a rubber chicken for help.
But this is no ordinary rubber chicken. Known as Camilla Corona, SDOs chicken mascot has flown five times to the uppermost levels of the atmosphere in a hot air balloon, flown in a rolling NASA T-38 Talon with astronauts, and traveled around the world attending space-related conferences, meetups, and tweetups.
A lesser chicken might not be able to handle such a rigorous schedule of constantly blogging, tweeting, and traveling. A lesser chicken might be too, well, chicken to fly solo to the edge of space in a hot air balloon in the midst of a solar radiation storm. But Camilla is gearing up for what will hopefully be her biggest adventure yet: going to the International Space Station.
Everything Camilla does is done in the name of public outreach: from encouraging people to ask questions, to inspiring children particularly other girls to be interested in STEM subjects, to educating her many followers not only about the sun and solar weather but about all NASA missions. The fact that she has succeeded in touching not only the public but astronauts and scientists within NASA along the way proves that a little social media strategy and a lot of personality can go a long way.
Astronaut Reid Wiseman, part of the upcoming Expedition 40/41, scheduled for May 2014, is trying to help Camilla realize her dream of spaceflight. Hes helping her train while SDO works on getting her certified to fly with him on the Russian spacecraft. Im hoping to take her up to the ISS and give her a good view, he said in a phone interview from the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Center in Star City, Russia.
Wiseman had followed Camilla on Twitter for some time when in February he met her in person by chance at an event at the Johnson Space Center. He was already training for his first expedition, so he decided to try to help get her into space too. He volunteered to take her with him to Star City to train at the Soyuz spacecraft ground school.
While in Star City, Camilla attended classes with Wiseman, learned about the intricacies of toilets in space, and mingled with other astronauts and officials from the Russian space agency. This chicken has some weird addictive quality that goes across borders and language barriers, Wiseman said. I took her to Red Square one day and it was unbelievable. He said he was constantly surrounded by people who wanted to take pictures of Camilla, most of whom had no idea what his or Camillas story was.
So how did Camilla go from anonymous rubber chicken to astronaut-in-training? Romeo Durscher, senior manager at SDO and executive assistant to Camilla, says that Camillas social media efforts began in late 2009, before the official launch of the mission. They had decided to make Camilla their mascot, something which initially started as an inside joke among the SDO team. But they quickly realized social media was an opportunity to teach the public about the sun and solar weather and that Camilla the hilariously adorable chicken that she was could be a great teacher.
What Durscher and the rest of the SDO team did not expect was just how popular Camilla would become. We didnt know how the public would react to a rubber chicken, said Durscher. It caught me completely by surprise. Within a year, she had developed a sizable following on Twitter, and it wasnt uncommon to see people kids, adults, and astronauts alike lined up to get photos taken with Camilla at NASA events.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - NASA's third and last surviving space shuttle will move to its retirement home on Friday after a 10-mile road trip from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Atlantis, which ended the 30-year-old space shuttle program with a final flight last year, will be the star attraction of a new $100 million exhibit at the privately operated Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex adjacent to the NASA spaceport.
Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts, which operates the visitors' center, plans to suspend the 154,000-pound (69,853-kg) spaceship from the ceiling with its cargo bay doors open to simulate the vehicle in orbit.
Atlantis, which flew 33 missions, is the third and last operational space shuttle to become a museum piece.
Discovery is on display at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. Endeavour last month took a cross-country flight on a transporter plane to Los Angeles for display at the California Science Center.
The prototype shuttle Enterprise, which was used for atmospheric tests but never flew in space, was relocated from the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, located on the Hudson River in New York City.
The storm Sandy knocked out power to Enterprise's pressurized pavilion as it passed over on Monday, causing the pavilion to deflate. The shuttle sustained minor damage, the museum said in a statement.
Travel plans for Atlantis are simple but moving a 122-foot long (37-meter), 78-foot (24-meter) wide spaceship requires planning.
"We have some logistics we're handling but actually it's really manageable," said Tim Macy, director of project development and construction for Delaware North.
To make way for Atlantis, crews have temporarily removed 120 light poles, 23 traffic signals, 66 road signs and one high-voltage power line.

This TRMM satellite rainfall analysis indicates that the heaviest rainfall totals of greater than 260mm (10.2 inches) were over the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
A NASA satellite operating from a birds-eye view now has precise data on rainfall from Superstorm Sandy, when it showered cats and dogs.
Called the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission, the satellite usually acts as a rain gauge for much of the globe, but it managed to track Sandys staggering rainfall from the storms birth in the Atlantic Ocean on Oct. 21 to its days of destruction over the East Coast this week.
Having operated from about 250 miles above the earths surface, the satellite shows that thankfully for East Coast residents the worst rainfall occurred over the ocean, with 10.2 inches dumped into the Atlantic.
FOLLOW OUR LIVE COVERAGE OF SANDY'S AFTERMATH
Still, Sandy did drop around 7 inches over much of the stretch of land from South Carolina to New Jersey. This can be seen on a new map created by NASA.
In New York, flooding from Sandy caused major damage throughout the city. Seven MTA subway tunnels were flooded, and homes and businesses throughout the region were shuttered because there was just too much water.
And two boys in Staten Island were also ripped from their mothers arms as floodwaters surrounded their SUV.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - NASA's last space shuttle rolled out of a hangar in Florida on Friday and traveled down the road to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to begin a new life as a museum piece.
Atlantis is the third and final shuttle to be retired and turned over for public display after the end of the 30-year-old shuttle program last year.
"Don't cry because it's over; smile because we had it," Patty Stratton, a manager with shuttle contractor United Space Alliance, told workers gathered before dawn outside the Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building.
The 1960s-era Apollo complex, later used to pair shuttles with booster rockets and fuel tanks for flight, now stands empty.
Kennedy Space Center is in the midst of a transition to support a planned heavy-lift rocket and deep space capsule able to fly astronauts to destinations beyond the International Space Station's 250-mile orbit.
NASA intends to turn over station crew ferry flights to private companies.
For now, Russia has the only transportation system to fly astronauts to the station, a service that costs the United States more than $60 million per seat.
Mounted on top of a 76-wheel flatbed trailer, Atlantis began its final journey before dawn on a clear and cool autumn day at the seaside Florida spaceport. It made several stops along the 10-mile (16-km) route before reaching the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex just after 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT).
"It traveled a lot faster in its previous life," quipped former astronaut Chris Ferguson, who commanded the last shuttle flight aboard Atlantis. "I think that maybe a generation or two of pilots after me are going to look at the space shuttle and wonder what it was like to fly that."
Hundreds of current and former employees, including dozens of astronauts, paraded with the shuttle as it slowly made its way beyond the space center's security gates into the publicly accessible Exploration Park, where about 8,000 people had gathered to welcome Atlantis.
Excerpt from:
All ISS systems continue to function nominally, except those noted previously or below. Saturday - Crew off duty.
After wakeup, FE-4 Malenchenko performed the routine inspection of the SM (Service Module) PSS Caution & Warning panel as part of regular Daily Morning Inspection.
Yuri also completed the periodic (daily) reboot of the Russian RSS1 & RSS2 laptops.
Working as a team, the six crewmembers conducted the regular weekly three-hour task of thorough cleaning of their home, including all USOS (US Orbit Segment) modules like Lab, Nodes, COL (Columbus Orbital Laboratory) and Kibo JPM (JEM Pressurized Module). ["Uborka", usually done on Saturdays, includes removal of food waste products, cleaning of compartments with vacuum cleaner, damp cleaning of the SM dining table, other frequently touched surfaces and surfaces where trash is collected, as well as the sleep stations with a standard cleaning solution; also, fan screens and grilles are cleaned to avoid temperature rises. Special cleaning is also done every 90 days on the HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) bacteria filters in the Lab.]
As part of Uborka house cleaning, Oleg Novitskiy, Yuri Malenchenko & Evgeny Tarelkin also completed regular weekly maintenance inspection & cleaning of fan screens in the FGB (TsV2) plus Group E fan grilles in the SM (VPkhO, FS5, FS6, VP), the grilles of the SKV air conditioner in the SM and the Russian VKS (Auxiliary Computer System) laptops.
In the US Lab, FE-3 Ford used the vacuum cleaner on the vents of the T61p OpsLAN Servers LS1 & ISS-SERVER1 in bay O1, to ensure optimal performance.
Kevin also performed the regular (~weekly) inspection & maintenance, as required, of the CGBA-4 (Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus 4) and CGBA-5 payloads in their ERs (EXPRESS Racks) at Lab O2 & O1, focusing on cleaning the muffler air intakes. [Crew report: "Screens a little dirty, but not bad. All cleaned up and running nominally."]
In the MRM2 Poisk module, Yuri continued the current twice-daily (morning/evening) checking of vacuum/pressure conditions in the Plasma Chamber of the Russian KPT-21 PK-3+ Plasma Crystal-3+ (Plazmennyi-Kristall-3 plus) Telescience payload for upcoming operations. [The PK-3+ equipment comprises the EB (Eksperimental'nyj Blok) Experiment Module with a turbopump for evacuation, Ts laptop, video monitor, vacuum hoses, electrical circuitry, four hard storage disks for video, and one USB stick with the control application.]
Akihiko Hoshide prepared the equipment for taking measurements for the JAXA BLR48 (Biological Rhythms 48/BIORHYTHMS) experiment and then started the session with a wrist-worn Actiwatch Spectrum (#9001) with BLR48 software and the medical laptop. Sunita Williams will begin her BLR48 measurements next Saturday (11/10). [First, Aki uses Holter 1 for data recording, then swaps it with Holter 2, Multi Media memory card and fresh AAA battery after 24 hrs (and 10 min after power-up) for another 24 hrs. Objective of this study for Aki & Suni is to examine the circadian variation of astronaut's digital electrocardiograph during space flights using the cardiac autonomic function of the "Digital Walk Holter ECG" with its electrodes attached to the chest and the wrist-worn Actiwatch Spectrum activity monitor to supplement circadian rhythms data. For Aki only, the objective is also the long-term ODK2 (Onboard Diagnostic Kit 2) evaluation of a remote healthcare system's operability and accuracy with the collected data, in order to develop a computerized remote healthcare system for astronauts.]
Oleg serviced the BTKh-14 BIOEMULSIYA payload, transferring the Rekomb-K bioreactor from the TBU incubator (+37 degC) in the DC1 (panel 403) back to the TBU-V incubator (+4 degC) in MRM1 (panel 102), with Evgeny shooting documentary photo/video.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. NASA's space shuttle Atlantis has again reached its "final stop," and this time, it's for good.
On Friday (Nov 2.), the space agency's last shuttle to fly in space became the last to be delivered to a museum as Atlantis arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to begin its new life as the dramatically displayed centerpiece of a $100 million exhibit scheduled to open in July 2013.
The 9.8-mile (15.8 kilometers) trip, which began at dawn at Kennedy Space Center's 52-story tall Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and ended at dusk at the visitor complex's five-story exhibit building, signaled an end to the epilogue of NASA's 30-year space shuttle program, which came to its close last year.
"Now Atlantis will continue its life," said former astronaut Chris Ferguson, who commanded Atlantis on its 33rd and final mission in July 2011, remarking then that its landing was the orbiter's and the shuttle program's "final stop."
"Its life of exploration is complete and it will go on in what I consider to be an incredibly fitting facility," he continued, addressing shuttle program workers on Friday. "Its life of education will pick up at this point forward."
Atlantis completed its last move with NASA officials and thousands of visitor complex guests looking on. A parade of more than 30 former astronauts joined the orbiter for the final leg of the trip before it parked in front of the remaining open wall of the 90,000-square-foot exhibit building that has been under construction since January. [Gallery: Atlantis on its Final Journey]
A fireworks display above and behind the shuttle heralded Atlantis' arrival, before the orbiter rolled into its new home.
Raising Atlantis
When Atlantis' still-to-be-named facility opens its doors to the public next summer, guests will have the opportunity to see the shuttle as only astronauts like Ferguson were able to do so. The orbiter will be exhibited as it looked when in Earth orbit, having just departed the International Space Station (ISS), with its payload bay doors open and its Canadarm robotic arm deployed.
"We think visitors to [the] visitor complex will be awed and inspired by how they will see and experience Atlantis," Bill Moore, chief operating officer of the complex, said.

Free Energy - Zero-Point Energy Extraction from the Quantum Vacuum
This is Tom Valone #39;s amazing video lecture Zero-Point Energy Extraction from the Quantum Vacuum (2004) where he gives a great overview of the various methods to extract free energy directly from the quantum vacuum to power our homes and machines. Today we face a destabilizing dependency on irreplaceable fossil fuels which are also rapidly dwindling. A real need exists for a portable source of power that can compete with fossil fuel and its energy density. A further need exists for a fuelless source of power which, by definition, does not require re-fueling. One possible source could be zero-point energy (ZPE). A major feasibility study by Valone #39;s Integrity Research Institute placed its emphasis on the practical potential for ZPE energy conversion, especially in view of recent advances in nanotechnology, than in the theory. With primary reference to the works of Casimir, Pinto, Mead and Milonni, key principles for the proposed extraction of energy for useful work are identified and analyzed. These principles fall into the thermodynamic, fluidic, mechanical, and electromagnetic areas of primary, forcelike quantities that apply to all energy systems. A search of ZPE literature reveals that these principles also apply to the quantum level. http://www.teslatech.info Thomas ValoneFrom:MasterpieceConCen3Views:1 0ratingsTime:01:10:33More inEntertainment
