This short film from 1976 introduces the Space Shuttle and shows the rollout of the orbiter Enterprise, ship #101. The rollout shown was on September 17, 1976. At 1:00, a quick montage shows steps in building the shuttle components, followed by views of the Dryden Flight Center near Lancaster, California where the set-up for glide tests is nearly complete. NASA's director of Space Shuttle Operations Isaac T. Gillam IV comments about the status of the 747 to be used in the glide tests. (Gillam was director of Dryden [now Armstrong] Flight Research Center, NASA’s major field center for the flight testing of high speed aircraft and experimental vehicles in Edwards, California.) At 1:49, the first crew of astronauts are shown: Joe Engle, Dick Truly, Fred Hayes and Gordon Fullerton. Fullerton comments about the Space Shuttle's mission profile while simulations show how the Shuttle will deliver payloads into orbit and return to Earth in a glide. At 3:14, an astronaut uses a simulator as part of training. At 3:36, more footage of the Enterprise from the rollout ceremony (this portion of the film has heavy water damage).
Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k. For more information visit PeriscopeFilm.com
