Cool...‪#‎3Dprinting‬ from an uploaded file to ‪#‎ISS‬.
All earlier prints were pre-programmed
The tool will not be used but returned to Marshall for testing. The next phase of operations will build tools that may be tested in space.
The International Space Station's 3-D printer completed the first phase of a NASA technology demonstration by printing a ratchet wrench.

Space shuttle

space shuttle Endeavour rolls into the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla. The first motion of the shuttle out of Orbiter Processing Facility 2 was at 6:56 a.m. EDT. In the VAB, Endeavour will be lifted into High Bay 1 and mated to the external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters already installed on the mobile launcher platform. Endeavour is scheduled to roll out to Launch Pad 39B in about a week. Endeavour will be prepared on the pad for liftoff in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary following space shuttle Atlantis' launch on the STS-125 mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. After Atlantis is cleared to land, Endeavour will move to Launch Pad 39A for its upcoming STS-127 mission to the International Space Station, targeted to launch in mid-June. 04/10/2009

launch pads at the same time

On Launch Pad 39B (left) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Endeavour has joined space shuttle Atlantis on Launch Pad 39A (right). This is probably the final time two shuttles will be on launch pads at the same time with the space shuttle fleet set for retirement in 2010. Surrounding pad 39B are the lightning towers erected for NASA's Constellation Program, which will use the pad for Ares rocket launches. Endeavour will be prepared on the pad for liftoff in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary following space shuttle Atlantis' launch on the STS-125 mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. After Atlantis is cleared to land, Endeavour will move to Launch Pad 39A for its upcoming STS-127 mission to the International Space Station, targeted to launch June 13. 04/18/2009
