STS-134 - LAUNCH - Public domain NASA photogrpaph

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A full-size test mock-up of the Orion spacecraft moves out of the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, or MPPF, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to test the path flight hardware will take during future launch processing. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry crews to space beyond low Earth orbit. It will provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. The first unpiloted test flight of the Orion is scheduled to launch in 2014 atop a Delta IV rocket and in 2017 on a Space Launch System rocket.

STS-134 - LAUNCH - Public domain NASA photogrpaph

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Seen in the background is Space Shuttle Endeavour on Launch Pad 39A after its rollout to the pad overnight. First motion out of the Vehicle Assembly Building was at 8:10 p.m. July 10, and the shuttle was hard down on the pad at 3:02 a.m. July 11. At far left is the rotating service structure, which can be rolled around to enclose the shuttle for access during processing. Tall brush and grass in the foreground signify the close relationship of Kennedy Space Center and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Center, which surrounds it. Endeavour is scheduled to launch on mission STS-118 on Aug. 7. During the mission, Endeavour will carry into orbit the S5 truss, SPACEHAB module and external stowage platform 3. The mission is the 22nd flight to the International Space Station and will mark the first flight of Mission Specialist Barbara Morgan, the teacher-turned-astronaut whose association with NASA began more than 20 years ago. STS-118 will be the first flight since 2002 for Endeavour, which has undergone extensive modifications, including the addition of safety upgrades already added to orbiters Discovery and Atlantis.

Summary

Members of the U.S Air Force’s Defense Meteorological Satellite Program stand on site as the program’s latest satellite, DMSP Flight-19, sits at the mobile service tower at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., waiting to be hoisted onto the launch vehicle on March 19, 2014. Used to monitor meteorological, oceanographic and solar-terrestrial physics for the Department of Defense, DMSP satellites are managed by Air Force Space Command with on-orbit operations provided by the NOAA. They provide cloud cover imagery from polar orbits that are sun-synchronous at an altitude of 450 nautical miles. (U.S. Air Force photo by Sarah Corrice.)

Conversion. Toy factory. Stephanie Cewe and Ann Manemeit, have turned their skill from peacetime production of toy trains to the assembly of parachute flare casings for the armies of democracy. Along with other workers in this Eastern plant, they have turned their skill to the vital needs of the day, and in many cases have seen to it that the machinery they used to use does Uncle Sam's most important work today. Here, they are assembling parachute flare casings, using the same electric screwdrivers they formerly used to assemble the locomotives of toy trains. A. C. Gilbert Company, New Haven, Connecticut
