KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - On Launch Complex 17-A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., the first stage of a Boeing Delta II rocket inside the mobile service tower is reflected in the overflow pool (foreground). The rocket is the launch vehicle for the Swift spacecraft and its Gamma-Ray Burst Mission, now scheduled for liftoff no earlier than Nov. 2. Swift is a medium-class Explorer mission managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The observatory was built for NASA by Spectrum Astro, a division of General Dynamics. KSC is responsible for Swift’s integration with the Boeing Delta II rocket and the countdown management on launch day. KSC-04pd2037

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Final preparations are underway for liftoff of NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, or OCO-2, aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket, following rollback of the mobile service tower on Space Launch Complex 2 on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Launch of OCO-2 is scheduled for 5:56 a.m. EDT on July 2 following the repair of the pad's water suppression system, which failed on the first launch attempt July 1. OCO-2 is NASA’s first mission dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the leading human-produced greenhouse gas driving changes in Earth’s climate. OCO-2 will provide a new tool for understanding the human and natural sources of carbon dioxide emissions and the natural "sinks" that absorb carbon dioxide and help control its buildup. The observatory will measure the global geographic distribution of these sources and sinks and study their changes over time. To learn more about OCO-2, visit http://www.nasa.gov/oco2.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Endeavour stands tall and proud on Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. First motion of Endeavour's rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building was at 11:57 p.m. EDT April 16. Surrounding the pad (seen left and right) are the new lightning towers erected for NASA's Constellation Program, which will use the pad for Ares rocket launches. Endeavour will be prepared on the pad for liftoff in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary following space shuttle Atlantis' launch on the STS-125 mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. After Atlantis is cleared to land, Endeavour will move to Launch Pad 39A for its upcoming STS-127 mission to the International Space Station, targeted to launch June 13.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, media stand near the crawlerway taking pictures as the mobile launcher (ML) begins its move aboard a crawler-transporter from next to Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B, a distance of 4.2 miles. Data on the ML will be collected from structural and functional engineering tests and used for the next phases of construction. The 355-foot-tall ML structure, which took about two years to construct, is being modified to support NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS), the heavy-lift rocket that will launch astronauts farther into space than ever before. SLS will also create high-quality jobs here at home, and provide the cornerstone for America's future human space exploration efforts. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis KSC-2011-7801

Zusammenfassung
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida - Im Kennedy Space Center der NASA in Florida sieht die Startrampe 39A aus wie nach dem Start von STS-135, der letzten Space-Shuttle-Mission am 8. Juli 2011. Die mobile Trägerplattform bleibt neben der festen Servicestruktur und der rotierenden Servicestruktur bestehen. Sowohl die Startrampe 39A als auch die 39B-Startrampe 39A wurden ursprünglich für die Apollo / Saturn V-Raketen gebaut, die amerikanische Astronauten auf ihre historischen Reisen zum Mond starteten und später modifiziert, um das 30-jährige Shuttle-Programm zu unterstützen.
