All Eyes on Oldest Recorded Supernova

The Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) booster is lowered toward a workstand in Kennedy Space Center's Vertical Processing Facility. The IUS will be mated with the Chandra X-ray Observatory and then undergo testing to validate the IUS/Chandra connections and check the orbiter avionics interfaces. Following that, an end-to-end test (ETE) will be conducted to verify the communications path to Chandra, commanding it as if it were in space. With the world's most powerful X-ray telescope, Chandra will allow scientists from around the world to see previously invisible black holes and high-temperature gas clouds, giving the observatory the potential to rewrite the books on the structure and evolution of our universe. Chandra is scheduled for launch July 22 aboard Space Shuttle Columbia, on mission STS-93 KSC-99pp0619

Inside the Vertical Processing Facility, the Chandra X-ray Observatory is lifted by an overhead crane in order to transfer it into the payload canister transporter and out to Launch Pad 39B. Chandra is scheduled to launch no earlier than July 20 at 12:36 a.m. EDT aboard Space Shuttle Columbia, on mission STS-93.

A C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft from 436th Airlift Wing, Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, delivers cargo pallets, personnel, and two HH-60 Blackhawk helicopters from the 41st Rescue Squadron, Moody AFB, Georgia, to AFB Hoedspruit, South Africa, during Operation Atlas Response. The personnel and helicopters are the first American HH-60's delivered to aid in the distribution of relief supplies and rescue stranded flood victims in Mozambique, 7 March 2000.
