CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In an area near S.R. 520 in Orange County, Florida, a crane lifts a steel beam that will be added to the being constructed for a Doppler weather radar facility for the 45th Weather Squadron. In the background is the radome that will be on top of the tower. The new site replaces one at Patrick Air Force Base. It will be used by NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the 45th Space Wing and their customers. The site will be able to monitor weather conditions directly above and surrounding the launch pads at Kennedy. The weather radar is essential in issuing lightning and other severe weather warnings and vital in evaluating lightning launch commit criteria. The new radar, replacing what was installed 25 years ago at Patrick Air Force Base, includes Doppler capability to detect winds and identify the type, size and number of precipitation particles. The site is ideally distant from the launch pads and has unobstructed views of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy. The radar will be used by forecasters at the USAF 45th Weather Squadron.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. –NASA's Project Morpheus prototype lander undergoes final preparations for a tethered-flight test at the north end of the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. For the 40-second test, the lander will be hoisted 20 feet. The spacecraft will ascend an additional five feet and hover for five seconds. Morpheus then will perform a 5.6-foot ascent coupled with a 9.8-foot traverse, and hover for five more seconds before returning to the launch point. A number of changes have been made, primarily focused on autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology ALHAT and moving the Doppler Lidar to the front of the forward liquid oxygen tank. The tether test was cut short due to Morpheus exceeding onboard abort rate limits. The vehicle was taken back to the hangar and data from the test is being studied. After review, managers will determine when a new test date will be set. The landing facility provides the lander with the kind of field necessary for realistic testing, complete with rocks, craters and hazards to avoid. Morpheus’ ALHAT payload allows it to navigate to clear landing sites amidst rocks, craters and other hazards during its descent.

Expedition 41 Rollout (201409230005HQ)
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The first stage of an Atlas/Centaur booster (AC-144) is delivered to Launch Complex 36A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in preparation for the launch of TDRS-J. The third in a series of telemetry satellites, TDRS-J will help replenish the current constellation of geosynchronous TDRS satellites. The TDRS System is the primary source of space-to-ground voice, data and telemetry for the Space Shuttle. It also provides communications with the International Space Station and scientific spacecraft in low-Earth orbit, such as the Hubble Space Telescope. This new advanced series of satellites will extend the availability of TDRS communications services until about 2017. KSC-02pd1498

Zusammenfassung
Expedition 16 Preflight Das Raumschiff Sojus TMA-11 wurde am Montag, den 8. Oktober 2007, mit einem Triebwagen zu seiner Startrampe am Kosmodrom Baikonur in Kasachstan transportiert, um dort am 10. Oktober zu starten. Die Sojus wird die Kommandantin der Expedition 16 Peggy Whitson, den Bordingenieur und Sojus-Kommandanten Juri Malentschenko und den malaysischen Raumfahrtteilnehmer Scheich Muszaphar Schukor zur Internationalen Raumstation bringen. Whitson und Malentschenko werden sechs Monate auf der Station verbringen. Shukor, der im Rahmen eines Abkommens zwischen Malaysia und der russischen Föderalen Raumfahrtbehörde fliegt, wird am 21. Oktober mit zwei Besatzungsmitgliedern der Expedition 15, die sich derzeit auf dem Komplex befinden, zur Erde zurückkehren.
