S122E008026 - STS-122 - Columbus Outfitting during Expedition 16/STS-122 Joint Operations
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Technicians, using an overhead crane in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, lift NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, known as Curiosity, for its move to a rotation fixture for testing. A United Launch Alliance Atlas V-541 configuration will be used to loft MSL into space. Curiosity’s 10 science instruments are designed to search for evidence on whether Mars has had environments favorable to microbial life, including chemical ingredients for life. The unique rover will use a laser to look inside rocks and release its gasses so that the rover’s spectrometer can analyze and send the data back to Earth. MSL is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida Nov. 25 with a window extending to Dec. 18 and arrival at Mars Aug. 2012.

STS084-375-035 - STS-084 - Interior of the Kvant-2 module
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Astrotech in Titusville, Fla., technicians check the alignment of the payload transportation canister as it is lowered over the GLAST spacecraft for installation. The spacecraft will be moved to pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. At the pad, NASA's Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope will be lifted into the mobile service tower and encapsulated in the fairing for launch. GLAST is a powerful space observatory that will explore the Universe's ultimate frontier, where nature harnesses forces and energies far beyond anything possible on Earth; probe some of science's deepest questions, such as what our Universe is made of, and search for new laws of physics; explain how black holes accelerate jets of material to nearly light speed; and help crack the mystery of stupendously powerful explosions known as gamma-ray bursts. The launch date is targeted no earlier than June 3. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-08pd1402
