Following rollout of space shuttle Endeavour from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B on April 17, two shuttles were on the launch pads at the same time at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla. Shuttle Atlantis already had been moved to Launch Pad 39A. Endeavour will stand by at pad B in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary during Atlantis' upcoming mission to upgrade NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. With the space shuttle fleet set for retirement in 2010, this is...

On Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a crane removes the lightning mast from the fixed service structure. The mast was used to protect the space shuttle from lightning while at the pad. The new lightning protection systems being built for the Constellation Program and Ares/Orion launches allows for the taller height of the Ares 1 rocket compared to the space shuttle. Pad 39B will be the site of the first Ares vehicle launch, the Ares 1-X test flight, that is targeted for...

In the Parachute Refurbishment Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, senior aero composite technicians pack a colorful main parachute for use on the Ares 1-X rocket test flight. To understand the colossal size of the Ares chutes, imagine a cluster of three brightly colored canopies that cover more than two acres and are 325 feet long from end-to-end. Kevlar makes these new parachutes stronger and lighter than their nylon predecessors. Although the cute is bigger, it still fits into the...

NASA is a step closer to the first test flight of the rocket that will send humans on their way to the moon as part of the agency's Constellation Program. The simulated crew module and launch abort system, whcih will complete the nose of the Ares 1-X rocket, arrive at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., Jan. 28. The flight will be an important step towards verifying analysis tools and techniques needed to develop Ares 1, NASA's new crew launch vehicle.

The full-scale mock-up of NASA's Orion crew module is being tested in the water off the coast of Kennedy Space Center in Florida the week of April 6. The spacecraft mock-up traveled from the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Carderock Division in Bethesda, Md., to Kennedy. The goal of the operation, dubbed the Post-landing Orion Recovery Test, or PORT, is to determine what kind of motion astronauts can expect after landing, as well as outside conditions for recovery teams.
