KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, photographers take advantage of a media showcase to get photos of the S3/S4 integrated truss segment. The starboard 3/4 truss segment will launch aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-117, targeted for March 15. The element will be added to the 11-segment integrated truss structure, the station's backbone. The integrated truss structure eventually will span more than 300 feet. The S3/S4 truss has two large solar arrays and will provide one-fourth of the total power generation for the completed station. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton KSC-07pd0276

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo has the attention of workers and some of the STS-102 crew. The MPLM, part of the payload on the STS-102 mission, is the first of three pressurized modules that will serve as the International Space Station’s “moving vans,” carrying laboratory racks filled with equipment, experiments and supplies to and from the Space Station aboard the Space Shuttle. Leonardo is scheduled to be launched in early March. On that flight, Leonardo will be filled with equipment and supplies to outfit the U.S. laboratory module Destiny. The mission will also be carrying the Expedition Two crew to the Space Station, replacing the Expedition One crew who will return on Shuttle Discovery KSC01pp0118

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In NASA Kennedy Space Center's Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF), the overhead crane lowers the multi-purpose logistics module Donatello into the waiting payload canister. Donatello is being transferred to the Operations and Checkout Building to make room in the SSPF for the arrival of elements for future flights from other ISS partners.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Vigilant workers monitor the second stage of a Delta IV as it is lifted from its transporter by crane in the Horizontal Integration Facility at Launch Complex 37 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. This United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket is the vehicle slated to launch GOES-P, the latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. Processing of the Delta IV is on track for launch, targeted for March 4, 2010. For information on GOES-P, visit http://goespoes.gsfc.nasa.gov/goes/spacecraft/n_p_spacecraft.html.

LDEF (Prelaunch) The LDEF structure is shown mounted on the LDEF Assembly and Transport System in Building 1250 at the Langley Research Center (LaRC), Hampton Virginia, during pre-ship wiring checks. The structure is a welded / bolted assembly fab- ricated from aluminum alloy 6061-T6 extrusions, forgings, tubing and plate materials and assembled with stainless steel fasteners. The eight (8) internal tubular diagonals between the center ring structure and the two end frames provide torsional stiffness to the structure.
