NASA Shuttle Endeavour's OMS Pod

In Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Endeavour’s left orbital maneuvering system OMS pod is in position on the aft of the shuttle and ready for installation. 

The OMS pod underwent complete de-servicing and cleaning at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico, part of the transition and retirement processing of each shuttle. 

Endeavour is being prepared for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. 

Over the course of its 19-year career, Endeavour spent 299 days in space during 25 missions.
