KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - External tank No. 123 moves into the Vehicle Assembly Building where it will be lifted into a checkout cell for further work. Shipped from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans aboard the Pegasus barge, the tank has undergone major safety changes, including removal of the protuberance air load ramps. It is designated to launch Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-116 in December. Mission STS-116 will deliver the P5 truss segment, a SPACEHAB module and other key components to the International Space Station. Launch is currently scheduled no earlier than Dec. 14.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- This aerial view shows the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) getting a facelift with the repainting of the American flag and replacing of the Bicentennial emblem with the NASA logo. The painting honors NASA's 40th anniversary on Oct. 1 and is expected to be complete in mid-September. The flag spans an area 209 feet by 110 feet, or about 23,437 square feet. Each stripe is 9 feet wide and each star is 6 feet in diameter. The logo, also known as the "meatball," measures 110 feet by 132 feet, or about 12,300 square feet. Workers, suspended on platforms from the top of the 525-foot-high VAB, are using rollers and brushes to do the painting. The entire fleet of orbiters is also receiving the addition of the NASA logo on their wings and sidewalls KSC-98pc997

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In the Astrotech payload processing facility near Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a lifting device rests atop the nose of the Atlas payload fairing enclosing the Juno spacecraft during operations to lift the spacecraft onto a transporter for its trip to Space Launch Complex 41. 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 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., Aug. 5.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.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A tugboat pushes the Pegasus Barge carrying the Space Shuttle Program's last external fuel tank, ET-122, toward NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The tank traveled 900 miles by sea from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. After reaching the Turn Basin at Kennedy, the tank will be offloaded and moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building where it eventually will be attached to space shuttle Endeavour for the STS-134 mission to the International Space Station. STS-134, targeted to launch in Feb. 2011, currently is scheduled to be the last mission in the Space Shuttle Program. The tank, which is the largest element of the space shuttle stack, was damaged during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and restored to flight configuration by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company employees.

Zusammenfassung

Im Rahmen von Umbauarbeiten zur Vorbereitung auf den Test der Kernstufe des neuen NASA-Weltraumstartsystems wird auf dem B-2-Prüfstand im Stennis Space Center ein Stahlkonstruktionsteil in Position gebracht. Der Abschnitt ist Teil des Rahmenwerks Main Propulsion Test Article (MPTA), das die SLS-Kernphase für Tests unterstützen wird. Das bestehende Gerüst wurde Ende der 1970er Jahre auf dem Stand installiert, um das Shuttle MPTA zu testen. Dieses Rahmenwerk musste jedoch neu positioniert und modifiziert werden, um der größeren SLS-Bühne gerecht zu werden. Ungefähr eine Million Pfund Baustahl wurden hinzugefügt, wodurch das Gerüst etwa 100 Fuß höher wird und die Skyline von Stennis einen neuen Look erhält. Stennis wird die eigentliche Flugkernstufe für die erste unbemannte SLS-Mission, Exploration Mission-1, testen.
