Space Shuttle Challenger Under Construction

Tile technicians install the underside tiles of the thermal protection system of the Space Shuttle Challenger (STA-099) at the Space Transportation Systems Division of Rockwell International in Palmdale, California, circa 1978. In January 1979 work began to convert STA-099 to operational status, whereupon the Orbiter was reclassified as OV-099. (Photo by Space Frontiers/Archive Photos/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
