CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA is hosting a Tweetup for 150 Twitter followers of space shuttle Atlantis' STS-135 mission to the International Space Station, selected from more than 5,500 online registrants. A Tweetup is an informal meeting of people who use the social messaging medium Twitter. This Tweetup is an opportunity to learn more about NASA, explore NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida and experience a space shuttle launch. Here, NASA Public Affairs Officer John Yembrick addresses the participants. Atlantis and its crew of four; Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, are scheduled to lift off at 11:26 a.m. EDT on July 8 to deliver the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts to the station. Atlantis also will fly the Robotic Refueling Mission experiment that will investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing satellites in orbit. In addition, Atlantis will return with a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. STS-135 will be the 33rd flight of Atlantis, the 37th shuttle mission to the space station, and the 135th and final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program.

TITUSVILLE, Fla. - Inside the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla. near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, technicians make final checks prior to lifting the payload faring containing the two Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or RBSP, spacecraft on to a transporter to be moved to the launch complex. NASA’s RBSP mission will help us understand the sun’s influence on Earth and near-Earth space by studying the Earth’s radiation belts on various scales of space and time. RBSP will begin its mission of exploration of Earth’s Van Allen radiation belts and the extremes of space weather after its liftoff aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. Liftoff is targeted for Aug. 23, 2012. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/rbsp Photo credit: NASA/ Kim Shiflett KSC-2012-4334

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At the podium, Center Director Roy Bridges Jr. offers remarks at the commissioning ceremony for the new Convoy Command Vehicle behind him. At left is Mike McCulley, chief operating officer, United Space Alliance. The new 40-foot vehicle is replacing a 15-year old model, and will be used following Shuttle landings as the prime vehicle to control critical communications between the orbiter, the crew and the Launch Control Center, to monitor the health of the Shuttle Orbiter systems and to direct convoy operations at the Shuttle Landing Facility. Upgrades and high-tech features incorporated into the design and development of this vehicle make it more reliable and efficient for the convoy crew. Seating capacity was increased from 4 to 12, and video recorders and television monitors were added to provide the convoy team with the maximum amount of visual information KSC-02pd1086
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The Twitter page of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program CCP buzzes with activity as program manager, Ed Mango, hosts a virtual conversation, called a Tweet Chat, with followers from around the world. Those who follow www.twitter.com/commercial_crew had an hour-long opportunity to ask Mango questions about NASA’s efforts to get astronauts to low Earth orbit and the International Space Station aboard American rockets and spacecraft. Mango stuck to the social networking service's 140 character limit and answered dozens of questions. The goal of CCP is to drive down the cost of space travel as well as open up space to more people than ever before by balancing industry’s own innovative capabilities with NASA's 50 years of human spaceflight experience. Seven aerospace companies are maturing launch vehicle and spacecraft designs under the program’s second round of development, called Commercial Crew Development Round 2 CCDev2), including Alliant Techsystems Inc. ATK, The Boeing Co., Excalibur Almaz Inc., Blue Origin, Sierra Nevada, Space Exploration Technologies SpaceX, and United Launch Alliance ULA. For more information, visit www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.

After being transported from Astrotech, in Titusville, Fla., the encapsulated GOES-L weather satellite arrives at Launch Pad 36A, Cape Canaveral Air Station, to be mated to a Lockheed Martin Atlas II rocket. The fourth of a new advanced series of geostationary weather satellites for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), GOES-L is a three-axis inertially stabilized spacecraft that will provide pictures and perform atmospheric sounding at the same time. After it is launched, the satellite will undergo checkout and then provide backup capabilities for the existing, aging operational satellites. Once in orbit, the satellite will become GOES-11, joining GOES-8, GOES-9 and GOES-10 in space. The GOES is scheduled for launch later this month KSC-99pp0497
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - A Columbia Crew Memorial Service is held at the Shuttle Landing Facility for KSC employees and invited guests. NASA Associate Deputy Administrator for Institutions and Asset Management James L. Jennings is at the podium. The Columbia and her crew of seven were lost on Feb. 1, 2003, over East Texas as they returned to Earth after a 16-day research mission. Taking part in the service were NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe, former KSC Director Robert Crippen, astronaut Jim Halsell, several employees, area clergymen, and members of Patrick Air Force Base. The service concluded with a “Missing Man Formation Fly Over” by NASA T-38 jet aircraft. KSC-03pd0296

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida - Im Kennedy Space Center der NASA in Florida spricht Center-Direktor Bob Cabana mit Arbeitern der Launch Equipment Test Facility (LETF), die vor kurzem für 35 Millionen Dollar einer umfassenden Modernisierung unterzogen wurde, die vier Jahre dauerte. Das LETF wurde in den 1970er Jahren gegründet, um die Qualifizierung der Nabel- und T-0-Mechanismen des Space Shuttle Program zu unterstützen. Im Laufe der Jahre hat es die Entwicklung von Systemen für Shuttle und die Internationale Raumstation, Delta und Atlas-Raketen sowie verschiedene Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprogramme unterstützt. Der LETF verfügt über einzigartige Fähigkeiten, sich zu einem vielseitigen Test- und Entwicklungsbereich zu entwickeln, der ein breites Spektrum an Programmen unterstützt.

Das Space-Shuttle-Programm war von 1981 bis 2011 das bemannte Trägerprogramm der US-Regierung, das von der NASA verwaltet wurde und 1972 offiziell begann. Das Space-Shuttle-System - bestehend aus einem Orbiter, der mit zwei wiederverwendbaren Feststoffraketen-Boostern und einem externen Treibstofftank gestartet wurde - brachte bis zu acht Astronauten und bis zu 23.000 kg Nutzlast in eine niedrige Erdumlaufbahn (LEO). Nach Abschluss seiner Mission würde der Orbiter wieder in die Erdatmosphäre eintreten und als Gleitschirm landen. Obwohl das Konzept seit den späten 1960er Jahren erforscht wurde, begann das Programm offiziell 1972 und stand nach den letzten Apollo- und Skylab-Flügen Mitte der 1970er Jahre im Mittelpunkt des bemannten NASA-Betriebs. Es begann mit dem Start des ersten Shuttles Columbia am 12. April 1981 auf STS-1. und beendete seine letzte Mission, STS-135, die von Atlantis geflogen wurde, im Juli 2011.
