STS-40 Columbia Lift Off

10 x 8 Colour Glossy NASA Photograph

NASA No. KSC-91PC-954

5 June 1991

The STS-40 Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 102, riding atop the external tank, lifts off from the Cape's Launch Complex 39 Pad B at 9:24:51 a.m. EDT. Exhaust plumes billow from the solid rocket booster as the space plane heads for space.

The launch was originally set for May 22, 1991. The mission was postponed less than 48 hours before launch when it became known that a leaking liquid hydrogen transducer in the orbiter main propulsion system, which was removed and replaced during leak testing in 1990, had failed an analysis by the vendor. Engineers feared that one or more of the nine liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen transducers protruding into fuel and oxidizer lines could break off and be ingested by the engine turbo-pumps, causing engine failure.

STS-40 Columbia The SLS-1 And Earth

10 x 8 Colour Glossy NASA Photograph

NASA No. STS40-77-010

5 - 14 June 1991

The laboratory module in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia was photographed during the Spacelab Life Science-1 (SLS-1) mission. SLS-1 was the first Spacelab mission dedicated solely to life sciences. The main purpose of the SLS-1 mission was to study the mechanisms, magnitudes, and time courses of certain physiological changes that occur during space flight, to investigate the consequences of the body's adaptation to microgravity and readjustment to Earth's gravity, and to bring the benefits back home to Earth.
