And last I checked, the Smithsonian didn't seem to be in any rush to sell Enterprise. -A.L. |

It was 15 Sep 2007, when Craig Fink commented:
Hopefully, President Ron Paul would privatize the Space Shuttle Program. Private Enterprise, first thing I'd do after purchasing Enterprise on E-Bay would be to move the LOX, LH2 lines inside the Orbiter. The first thing a privatized space program would do would be to decide there's no immediate profit in it, break it up into smaller pieces, and sell it to other folks who would shortly go out of business. -- grizzly at grizzly dot podzone dot org Podcast: http://grizzly.libsyn.com Promo: http://media.libsyn.com/media/grizzly/grizprom.mp3 Blog: grizzlysgrowls.blogspot.com The Life and Times of a Minor Local Celebrity |

They were probably never installed on Enterprise, since it only flew drop tests. Enteprise was indeed never equipped with the IPS plumbing that later orbiters were since it was to fly the ALT flights first, and it was not required hardware. However the capacity to install them was retained. Had things gone as originally planned following the vibration testing at Marshall Spaceflight Center in 1978-79, Enterprise would have been returned to Palmdale Plant No. 42 in California to be retrofitted fully, and would have seen her first flight in 1982. The expense of dismantling Enterprise, along with upgrading the airframe to meet the new fleet standards was deemed too expensive, and so NASA chose instead to retrofit the STA-099 test article into OV-099 Challenger. -Mike |
