CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The 327-foot-tall Ares I-X rocket is not the tallest structure on Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Situated around the pad are three 100-foot fiberglass lightning masts mounted atop 500-foot towers. This is the first time since the Apollo Program's Saturn rockets were retired that a vehicle other than the space shuttle has been processed on the pad. The transfer of the pad from the Space Shuttle Program to the Constellation Program took place May 31. Pad modifications to support the Ares I-X include the removal of shuttle unique subsystems, such as the orbiter access arm and a section of the gaseous oxygen vent arm, and 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 set for Oct. 27.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – On Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a crane has removed the 80-foot lightning mast from the top of the fixed service structure. The mast is no longer needed with the erection of the three lightning towers around the pad. Pad 39B will be the site of the first Ares vehicle launch, including the Ares I-X test flight that is targeted for July 2009. The three new lightning towers are 500 feet tall with an additional 100-foot fiberglass mast atop supporting a wire catenary system. This improved lightning protection system allows for the taller height of the Ares I rocket compared to the space shuttle. Photo credit: NASA/Amanda Diller KSC-2009-1942
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the mobile launcher, or ML, stands at Launch Pad 39B. Data on the ML will be collected from structural and functional engineering tests and used for the next phases of construction overseen by NASA’s 21st Century Ground Systems Program. The 355-foot-tall ML structure, which took about two years to construct, is being modified to support NASA’s Space Launch System, the heavy-lift rocket that will launch astronauts farther into space than ever before.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – An aerial view of the newly erected lightning towers on Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The two towers at left and center contain the lightning mast on top; the one at right does not. At center are the fixed and rotating service structures that have served the Space Shuttle Program. Beyond the pad is the Atlantic Ocean. The new lightning protection system is being built for the Constellation Program and Ares/Orion launches. Each of the towers is 500 feet tall with an additional 100-foot fiberglass mast atop supporting a wire catenary system. This improved lightning protection system allows for the taller height of the Ares I rocket compared to the space shuttle. Pad 39B will be the site of the first Ares vehicle launch, including the Ares I-X test flight that is targeted for July 2009. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-2009-1571
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, stands at 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 NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, this aerial view taken from atop the Vehicle Assembly Building shows the mobile launcher (ML) as it 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/Kim Shiflett KSC-2011-7789

Zusammenfassung
Die Atlas V-Rakete der United Launch Alliance hat den Weg von der Vertical Integration Facility zum Space Launch Complex 41 am Luftwaffenstützpunkt Cape Canaveral in Florida zurückgelegt. Die Trägerrakete wird die Entwicklung der NASA-Raumfahrzeuge Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer oder OSIRIS-REx vorantreiben. Dies wird die erste US-Mission sein, die einen Asteroiden untersucht, mindestens zwei Unzen Oberflächenmaterial abruft und zur Untersuchung auf die Erde zurückbringt. Der Asteroid Bennu könnte Hinweise auf den Ursprung des Sonnensystems und die Quelle von Wasser und organischen Molekülen auf der Erde enthalten.
