CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida, presenters and Kennedy personnel supporting a NASA Tweetup get a close-up look at space shuttle Endeavour being stored in the Vehicle Assembly Building. From left are Yves Lamothe, lead systems engineer for the 21st Century Ground Systems Program at Kennedy; NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver; former astronaut Leland Melvin, NASA associate administrator for Education; and Will.i.am, entertainer and member of The Black Eyed Peas. The Tweetup is part of prelaunch activities for the agency’s Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) launch and provides the opportunity for tweeters will share their experiences with followers through the social networking site Twitter. The MSL mission will pioneer precision landing technology and a sky-crane touchdown to place a car-sized rover, Curiosity, near the foot of a mountain inside Gale Crater on Aug. 6, 2012. During a nearly two-year prime mission after landing, the rover will investigate whether the region has ever offered conditions favorable for microbial life, including the chemical ingredients for life. Liftoff of MSL aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station was at 10:02 a.m. EST on Nov. 26.
