CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Technicians lift a special fixture inside the high bay of the Operations & Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The fixture is designed to enable precise pre-launch processing of the Orion spacecraft. An Orion capsule is being prepared to make a flight test in 2014 on a mission that will not carry any astronauts. Photo by Tim Jacobs KSC-2012-6446

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Space Station Processing Facility, an overhead crane lowers the S3/S4 integrated truss structure onto a work stand. It was moved from a rotation stand at left. Along with a third set of solar arrays and batteries, the truss is scheduled to fly on mission STS-117 aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station. The crew of six astronauts will install the truss to continue assembly of the station. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis KSC-06pd2230

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., workers watch as the upper transportation canister is lowered over the Dawn spacecraft. The canister will be attached to the bottom segments already in place. The canister will protect the spacecraft and booster during transfer to Launch Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). During its nearly decade-long mission, the Dawn mission will study the asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres, celestial bodies believed to have accreted early in the history of the solar system. To carry out its scientific mission, the Dawn spacecraft will carry a visible camera, a visible and infrared mapping spectrometer, and a gamma ray and neutron spectrometer, whose data will be used in combination to characterize these bodies. In addition to the three instruments, radiometric and optical navigation data will provide data relating to the gravity field and thus bulk properties and internal structure of the two bodies. Data returned from the Dawn spacecraft could provide opportunities for significant breakthroughs in our knowledge of how the solar system formed. Launch via a Delta II rocket is scheduled in a window from 7:25 to 7:54 a.m. Sept. 26 from CCAFS. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann KSC-07pd2407

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - Suspended from an overhead crane, the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello is ready to be lowered into the payload canister. Raffaello is filled with supplies and equipment for mission STS-108 to the International Space Station. Launch is scheduled for Nov. 29 aboard Shuttle Endeavour. The 11-day mission to the International Space Station will also carry the replacement Expedition 4 crew. KSC-01pp1638

Conversion. Automobile plant. A thirty-eight-and-a-half-ton Bliss Marquette No. 40 1/2-84 press, removed from a building that is being entirely cleared and converted to other war production, is lowered to a flat car for shipment to its new location. There it will form hood sides for 4 x 4 and 6 x 6 army trucks. The large I-beam spans placed through the die opening save dismantling and permit two cranes to share the weight, thus permitting quicker removal. Chevrolet Motor, Detroit, Michigan
