   NASA

   A Space Shuttle was planned to dock with and elevate Skylab to a higher safe altitude, but Skylab reentered the atmosphere and was destroyed in 1979, before the first shuttle could be launched, landing over parts of Western Australia and the Indian Ocean, with some fragments being recovered. ... NASA's Shared Services center is located on the grounds of the John C. Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.

   NASA Pathfinder

   Its wing incorporated a redesigned high-altitude airfoil and the span was increased to 206 feet (62.79 m). ... Instrumentation that was used for the follow-on solar-powered altitude and endurance flights was also checked out and calibrated during the initial low-altitude flights at NASA Dryden.

   Project Constellation

   Like the Ares I, the Ares V will be assembled at the VAB, but upon approaching the launch date, the Ares V would then be transported to Launch Pad 39A, the same launch pad used by NASA to launch the Apollo 11 spacecraft on its history-making mission.

   Legacy system

   Still, these two factors together mean that it was advantageous for NASA – even before the Shuttle was scheduled to be retired in 2010 – to keep using many pieces of 1970s technology rather than to upgrade those systems. ... A print server can be used to intercept the data and translate it to a more modern code.

    Space accidents and incidents

    It certainly would have been prevented had NASA used ambient air or an oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere, or if it had used pure oxygen but reduced the pressure to 5psi as it did on actual spaceflights. ... 1966 March 17: equipment failure: Gemini 8: A maneuvering thruster refused to shut down and put their capsule into an uncontrolled spin.
