CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Aboard NASA’s Freedom Star boat in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Port Canaveral in Florida, the covering around NASA’s Mobile Aerospace Reconnaissance System, or MARS, has been removed. MARS is being prepared for a day of testing in the Atlantic Ocean. MARS, run by NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., with its spatial, hyperspectral, thermal, and directed energy capabilities will be used for thermal imaging testing for the upcoming SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon capsule test flight to the International Space Station. During today’s test, the MARS X-band radar and kineto tracking mount KTM were tested to ensure that they were synchronized to receive a rocket launch feed. The radar was used to identify an object to see if the KTM could lock on to and track it. The MARS team performed maintenance on the system, confirmed communications links, and tested the design of the mounting system and environmental enclosure.

Lance Cpl. Brandon T. Pickens watches as a container is unloaded from the USNS Sacagawea, a maritime prepositioning force ship, Feb. 26 at Gwangyang port, Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea during Exercise Freedom Banner 2014. MPF ships are used by the U.S. Marine Corps to sea-base equipment in preparation for contingencies and crises, and to transport cargo and equipment for exercises and operations around the world. Pickens is a landing support specialist with CLR-35, 3rd Marine Logistics Groups, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Freedom Banner projects U.S. military power and exercises maritime prepositioning force ship offloading capabilities similar to what would occur during a wartime or disaster relief scenario. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for Marines to strengthen relationships between the Republic of Korea and U.S.
