Space Shuttle in a NASA Assembly Hangar
Winged orbiters undergo inspection and assembly operations inside large industrial hangars before rolling out to launch facilities. A space shuttle rests inside an assembly bay beside a mobile ladder cart and an overhead crane.
Industrial Maintenance of Reusable Spacecraft
Assembly bays feature giant cranes capable of lifting heavy propulsion components and maneuvering cargo into the payload bay. Mobile ladders and scaffolding allow technicians to inspect thermal protection tiles and perform pre-flight diagnostic checks safely.
True Colors of Shuttle Thermal Tiles and Hangar Equipment
- Space shuttle nose and wing edges: Dark black carbon-composite tiles
- Space shuttle main body: Crisp white heat-resistant insulation blankets
- Industrial crane: Safety yellow or orange painted structural steel
- Ladder cart: Silver aluminum or industrial gray steel tubing
- Assembly bay floor: Polished gray concrete with yellow safety lines
