TITUSVILLE, Fla. - Technicians begin the process of removing the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, TDRS-K, from the shipping container after arrival at the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla. near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Launch of the TDRS-K on the Atlas V rocket is planned for January 29, 2013. The TDRS-K spacecraft is part of the next-generation series in the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, a constellation of space-based communication satellites providing tracking, telemetry, command and high-bandwidth data return services.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The inside of Atlantis' payload bay can be seen from inside the payload changeout room. The changeout room is the enclosed, environmentally controlled portion of the rotating service structure that supports cargo delivery to the pad and subsequent vertical installation into the orbiter payload bay. At the top of the photo is the orbital docking system. At bottom is the integrated cargo carrier - lite, holding three elements: a nitrogen tank assembly that is part of the external active thermal control system on the International Space Station, the European technology Exposure Facility composed of nine science instruments and an autonomous temperature measurement unit, and the SOLAR payload designed for sun observation. The Columbus Laboratory module will be installed in between. The lab module, built by the European Space Agency, also known as ESA, is approximately 23 feet long and 15 feet wide, allowing it to hold 10 large racks of experiments. Columbus is ESA's largest single contribution to the space station. Columbus will fly to the International Space Station on mission STS-122. The launch is targeted for Dec. 6.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Workers take inventory of the contents of the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, which is in the Space Station Processing Facility. The MPLM has just returned from its maiden voyage to the International Space Station aboard Discovery on mission STS-102. It has brought back to KSC nearly a ton of trash and excess equipment from the Space Station. Leonardo is one of three MPLMs built by the Italian Space Agency to serve as “cargo vans” to the Station, carrying supplies and equipment. In the SSPF, Leonardo will be prepared for a future mission KSC01pp0728
