CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – As the sun rises over Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the 327-foot-tall Ares I-X rocket, secured to a mobile launcher platform, approaches the pad's perimeter fence. The test rocket left the Vehicle Assembly Building at 1:39 a.m. EDT on its 4.2-mile trek to the pad and was "hard down" on the pad’s pedestals at 9:17 a.m. The transfer of the pad from the Space Shuttle Program to the Constellation Program took place May 31. Modifications made to the pad include the removal of shuttle unique subsystems, such as the orbiter access arm and a section of the gaseous oxygen vent arm, along with the installation of three 600-foot lightning towers, access platforms, environmental control systems and a vehicle stabilization system. Part of the Constellation Program, the Ares I-X is the test vehicle for the Ares I. The Ares I-X flight test is targeted for Oct. 27.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, United Launch Alliance, or ULA, technicians monitor the progress as the ULA Atlas V rocket, carrying NASA’s twin Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or RBSP, rolls back from Space Launch Complex 41 to the Vertical Integration Facility. The rocket and spacecraft will be secured and protected from inclement weather due to Tropical Storm Isaac. RBSP will explore changes in Earth's space environment caused by the sun -- known as "space weather" -- that can disable satellites, create power-grid failures and disrupt GPS service. The mission also will provide data on the fundamental radiation and particle acceleration processes throughout the universe. The launch is rescheduled for 4:05 a.m. EDT on Aug. 30, pending approval from the range. For more information on RBSP, visit http://www.nasa.gov/rbsp. Photo credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky KSC-2012-4650
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A Falcon 9 rocket with a Dragon capsule secured atop is lifted into a vertical position between the lightning masts on the pad at Space Launch Complex 40 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, built both the rocket and capsule for NASA's first Commercial Resupply Services, or CRS-1, mission to the International Space Station. The vertical lift was complete at 1 p.m. EDT. SpaceX CRS-1 is an important step toward making America’s microgravity research program self-sufficient by providing a way to deliver and return significant amounts of cargo, including science experiments, to and from the orbiting laboratory. Launch is scheduled for 8:35 p.m. EDT on Oct. 7. NASA has contracted for 12 commercial resupply flights from SpaceX and eight from the Orbital Sciences Corp.

Space X Falcon 9 Rocket - ASIASAT 8
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 40 the SpaceX-3 mission to the International Space Station was postponed due to a helium leak on the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage. The next launch opportunity would be Friday, April 18 at 3:25 p.m. EDT if the issue can be resolved. Scheduled to be launched atop a Falcon 9 rocket, the Dragon spacecraft will be marking its fourth trip to the space station. The SpaceX-3 mission carrying almost 2.5 tons of supplies, technology and science experiments is the third of 12 flights contracted by NASA to resupply the orbiting laboratory.

Zusammenfassung
Ein Kran beginnt, die Nutzlastverkleidung mit dem geostationären Umweltsatelliten (GOES-R) der NOAA an der Vertical Integration Facility am Space Launch Complex 41 der Luftwaffenstation Cape Canaveral in Florida anzuheben. GOES-R wird mit der Oberstufe der United Launch Alliance Atlas V Centaur in Vorbereitung auf den Start im November gepaart. GOES-R ist der erste Satellit in einer Reihe von NOAA GOES Satellites der nächsten Generation.
