CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, preparations are underway to roll NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, spacecraft secured atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from the Vertical Integration Facility to Space Launch Complex 41. Rollout is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Launch is scheduled for Nov. 18 during a window that extends from 1:28 to 3:28 p.m. Once positioned in orbit above the Red Planet, MAVEN will study its upper atmosphere in unprecedented detail.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Fiery clouds light up Space Launch Complex-2 at the liftoff of the Delta II rocket carrying the Ocean Surface Topography Mission, or OSTM/Jason 2, spacecraft. The OSTM/Jason 2 satellite will embark on a globe-circling voyage to continue charting sea level, a vital indicator of global climate change. The mission will return a vast amount of new data that will improve weather, climate and ocean forecasts. OSTM/Jason 2's expected lifetime of at least three years will extend into the next decade the continuous record of these data started in 1992 by NASA and the French space agency Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, or CNES, with the TOPEX/Poseidon mission. The data collection was continued by the two agencies on Jason-1 in 2001. The launch window extends from 12:46 a.m. to 12:55 a.m. PDT. The satellite will be placed in an 830-mile-high orbit at an inclination of 66 degrees after separating from the Delta II 55 minutes after liftoff.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41, the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket set to carry NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, TDRS-K, moves toward the launch pad after leaving the Vertical Integration Facility. Liftoff for the TDRS-K is planned for Jan. 30, 2013. The TDRS-K spacecraft is part of the next-generation series in the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, a constellation of space-based communication satellites providing tracking, telemetry, command and high-bandwidth data return services.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Space Launch Complex 41, a crane is lowered toward the Juno spacecraft, enclosed in an Atlas payload fairing, to lift it on top of the Atlas rocket stacked in the Vertical Integration Facility. The spacecraft was prepared for launch in the Astrotech Space Operations' payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla. The fairing will protect the spacecraft from the impact of aerodynamic pressure and heating during ascent and will be jettisoned once the spacecraft is outside the Earth's atmosphere. Juno is scheduled to launch Aug. 5 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The solar-powered spacecraft will orbit Jupiter's poles 33 times to find out more about the gas giant's origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere and investigate the existence of a solid planetary core.

Zusammenfassung
Das Fahrzeug Sojus TMA-3 startet am Samstag, den 18. Oktober 2003 vom Kosmodrom Baikonur in Kasachstan mit dem Kommandanten der Expedition 8 und NASA-Wissenschaftsoffizier Michael Foale, dem Kommandanten der Expedition 8 Alexander Kaleri und dem spanischen Astronauten Pedro Duque von der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation zur Internationalen Raumstation. Das Trio wird am 20. Oktober auf der ISS eintreffen, wenn Foale und Kaleri für die nächsten 6-1 / 2 Monate das Kommando über den Stationsbetrieb übernehmen. Duque wird am 28. Oktober mit dem Kommandanten der Expedition 7 Juri Malentschenko und dem NASA-Wissenschaftsoffizier Ed Lu in einer weiteren Sojus-Kapsel zur Erde zurückkehren, die bereits an die ISS angedockt ist.

Im Laufe seiner sechzigjährigen Geschichte war das sowjetische Raumfahrtprogramm vor allem für eine Reihe bahnbrechender Errungenschaften in der Raumfahrt verantwortlich, darunter die erste Interkontinentalrakete (R-7), den ersten Satelliten (Sputnik 1), das erste Tier in der Erdumlaufbahn (Hund Laika auf Sputnik 2), den ersten Menschen im All und auf der Erde (Kosmonaut Juri Gagarin auf Wostok 1), die erste Frau im Weltall und im Erdorbit (Kosmonautin Valentina Tereschkowa auf Wostok 6), den ersten Weltraumspaziergang (Kosmonaut Alexej Leonow auf Wostod 2), den ersten Mondeinschlag (Luna 2), das erste Bild der fernen Seite des Mondes (Luna 3) und die unbemannte weiche Mondlandung (Luna 9), den Weitere bemerkenswerte Aufzeichnungen waren die ersten interplanetarischen Sonden: Venera 1 und Mars 1, die an Venus bzw. Mars vorbeiflogen, Venera 3 und Mars 2, um die jeweilige Planetenoberfläche zu treffen, und Venera 7 und Mars 3, um weiche Landungen auf diesen Planeten durchzuführen.
