CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA's Juno spacecraft, enclosed in its payload fairing atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V-551 launch vehicle, is in position on the launch pad at Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is planned during a launch window which extends from 11:34 a.m. to 12:43 p.m. EDT on 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. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the Juno mission for the principal investigator, Scott Bolton, of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. The Juno mission is part of the New Frontiers Program managed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft. Launch management for the mission is the responsibility of NASA's Launch Services Program at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. For more information, visit www.nasa.gov/juno.

VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. – A Centaur upper stage is lifted onto the first stage booster of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V at the launch pad at Space Launch Complex-3E at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. in preparation for the launch of the Landsat Data Continuity Mission. The Landsat Data Continuity Mission LDCM is the future of Landsat satellites. It will continue to obtain valuable data and imagery to be used in agriculture, education, business, science, and government. The Landsat Program provides repetitive acquisition of high resolution multispectral data of the Earth's surface on a global basis. The data from the Landsat spacecraft constitute the longest record of the Earth's continental surfaces as seen from space. It is a record unmatched in quality, detail, coverage, and value. Launch is planned for Feb. 2013. Photo credit: NASA/Roy Allison KSC-2012-5947

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, carrying NASA’s twin Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or RBSP, is rolled back from Space Launch Complex 41 to the Vertical Integration Facility where they 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-2012-4637

Zusammenfassung
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida - Auf dem Launch Complex 41 der Luftwaffenstation Cape Canaveral beginnt der Rollout eines United Launch Alliance Atlas V mit dem Ortungs- und Datenrelais-Satelliten der NASA oder TDRS-L, einem Raumschiff auf der Spitze, von der Vertical Integration Facility zur Startrampe. Die TDRS-L-Sonde ist der zweite von drei neuen Satelliten, die entwickelt wurden, um die lebenswichtige Betriebskontinuität der NASA zu gewährleisten, indem sie die Lebensdauer der Flotte des Ortungs- und Datenrelais-Satellitensystems TDRSS verlängert, das aus acht Satelliten im geosynchronen Orbit besteht. Die Raumfahrzeuge bieten Ortungs-, Telemetrie-, Kommando- und Datenrücksendedienste mit hoher Bandbreite für zahlreiche wissenschaftliche und bemannte Erkundungsmissionen, die die Erde umkreisen. Dazu gehören das Weltraumteleskop Hubble der NASA und die Internationale Raumstation. TDRS-L verfügt über ein leistungsstarkes Solarmodul, das für mehr Raumfahrtenergie ausgelegt ist, um die wachsenden Anforderungen an die S-Band-Kommunikation zu erfüllen. TDRSS ist eines der drei SCaN-Netzwerke der NASA Space Communication and Navigation, die Weltraumkommunikation für NASA-Missionen bereitstellen.
