KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Atlantis arrives at the Orbiter Processing Facility from the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center. The orbiter will undergo processing for its next launch, mission STS-122 in December. Visible on Atlantis is the tail cone that covers and protects the main engines during the ferry flight. Atlantis arrived at Kennedy Space Center atop the SCA on July 3 after a three-day, cross-country flight due to fuel stops and weather delays. Touchdown was at 8:27 a.m. EDT. Atlantis landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California on June 22 to end mission STS-117. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton. KSC-07pd1803

STS-92 is scheduled to launch Oct. 5 at 9:30 p.m. EDT on the fifth flight to the International Space Station. It will carry two elements of the Space Station, the Integrated Truss Structure Z1 and the third Pressurized Mating Adapter. The mission is also the 100th flight in the Shuttle program KSC-00pp1331

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a maintenance technician from NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center in California checks controls inside NASA’s Shuttle Carrier Aircraft modified 747 jet, or SCA, after arriving at the Shuttle Landing Facility from Edwards Air Force Base in California. During the Space Shuttle Program’s transition and retirement processing, Discovery was prepared for display at Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va. Discovery is scheduled to be transported atop the SCA, designated NASA 905, to Dulles International Airport in Virginia on April 17 and then moved to the Smithsonian for permanent public display on April 19. The SCA is assigned to the remaining ferry missions, delivering the shuttles to their permanent public display sites. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/shuttle.

Zusammenfassung
7. Oktober 2003 NASA Foto / Tony Landis B-52 Projektbeschreibung
NASA Identifier: 303208main _ EC03-0258-12 EC03-0258-12 NASA Dryden erhielt am 30. Juli 2001 das "H" -Modell B-52 Stratofortress-Flugzeug. Die B-52H wird als Trägerflugzeug zur Unterstützung der NASA-Flugforschung und fortschrittlicher technologischer Demonstrationsbemühungen eingesetzt. Dryden erhielt die B-52H vom USAF 23rd Bomb Squadron, 5th Bombardment Wing Air Combat Command in Minot AFB, N.D. Eine Besatzung der USAF flog das Flugzeug nach Dryden. Die neu eingetroffene B-52H sollte Drydens berühmte B-52B "008" im Hintergrund ersetzen. Zu den Modifikationen der B-52H für die Flugforschung gehören PDM, der Bau des Pylons, die Installation der Instrumente für die Flugforschung und Flüge zur Abfertigung der Flugzeughülle. Änderungen in den Luftfahrtprogrammen der NASA bedeuteten, dass die B-52H nicht für Forschungszwecke genutzt wurde.
