Technicians Installing Heat Shield on Shuttle Endeavour Engine at Kennedy Space Center

Technicians at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida are installing a heat shield around one of space shuttle Endeavour's replica main engines in the Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 2. This maintenance activity is part of the Transition and Retirement process of the current shuttle fleet, preparing Endeavour for public exhibition at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. This specific scene captures the ongoing efforts to ensure the shuttle's readiness for its ferry flight to California, targeted for mid-September. Ideal for editorial pieces on historic space missions, engineering processes, or NASA's shuttle program.
