CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – On Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's skid strip in Florida, the shrouded Atlas V first stage booster is moved out of the Russian AH-124-100 aircraft onto a transporter. The Atlas V is the launch vehicle for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, and NASA's Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite, known as LCROSS. The booster will be taken to the Atlas Space Operations Center on CCAFS. Launch is scheduled no earlier than May 20. LCROSS and LRO are the first missions in NASA's plan to return humans to the moon and begin establishing a lunar outpost by 2020. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann KSC-2009-1924

NASA astronaut and Mir 24 crew member David Wolf, M.D., enjoys a moment with the media at the Skid Strip at Cape Canaveral Air Station on Feb. 1 moments before his departure for Johnson Space Center. Other STS-89 crew members surrounding Dr. Wolf include, left to right, Pilot Joe Edwards Jr.; Commander Terrence Wilcutt; and Mission Specialist Bonnie Dunbar, Ph.D. In the red shirt behind Edwards is JSC Director of Flight Crew Operations David Leestma. The STS-89 crew that brought Dr. Wolf back to Earth arrived at KSC aboard the orbiter Endeavour Jan. 31, concluding the eighth Shuttle-Mir docking mission. STS-89 Mission Specialist Andrew Thomas, Ph.D., succeeded Dr. Wolf on Mir and is scheduled to remain on the Russian space station until the STS-91 Shuttle mission returns in June 1998. In addition to the docking and crew exchange, STS-89 included the transfer of science, logistical equipment and supplies between the two orbiting spacecrafts KSC-pa-wolf-17
