KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - On Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, the GOES-N satellite is prepared for demating from its Boeing Delta IV rocket. Launch of the satellite was postponed in August 2005 due to technical issues and postponed to a later date. Due to the extended length of time the spacecraft has been atop the rocket without launching, the weather satellite is being returned to the Astrotech Space Operations payload processing facility for some precautionary retesting and state-of-health checks. GOES-N is the latest in a series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites for NOAA and NASA providing continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Russell Romanella, director of the ISS and Spacecraft Processing Directorate at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, addresses the media who were provided an opportunity to see the newest section of the International Space Station, the Tranquility node, in the Space Station Processing Facility. Tranquility is a pressurized module that will provide room for many of the station's life support systems. Managers from NASA, the European Space Agency, Thales Alenia Space and Boeing -- the organizations involved in building and processing the module for flight -- were available for a question-and-answer session during the event. Tranquility will be delivered to the station during space shuttle Endeavour's STS-130 mission, targeted for launch in February 2010. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann KSC-2009-3610

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Orbiter Processing Facility bay 2, Discovery’s payload bay doors are open to reveal the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, which has just returned from its first round trip to the International Space Station on mission STS-102. Behind it to the left is the integrated cargo carrier. Attached to the length of the payload bay, in front of Leonardo, is the robotic arm that was used to remove and position Leonardo on the ISS. Leonardo will be lifted from the payload bay and transferred to the SSPF to prepare it for future missions. The MPLM serves as a cargo van, carrying equipment and supplies to the Space Station KSC01pp0692
