CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In Hangar N at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, an 11-axis robotic X-ray system takes images of hardware for evaluation. The activity is part of work performed by PaR Systems, Inc. under a partnership agreement with NASA. NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida recently established a partnership agreement with PaR Systems, Inc. of Shoreview, Minn., for operation of the Hangar N facility and its nondestructive testing and evaluation equipment. As the spaceport transitions from a historically government-only launch facility to a multi-user spaceport for both federal and commercial customers, partnerships between the space agency and other organizations will be a key element in that effort. Hangar N is located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station adjacent to Kennedy and houses a unique inventory of test and evaluation equipment and the capability for current and future mission spaceflight support.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Atlantis' STS-135 crew members take part in a payload bay walkdown to check out the cargo secured in Atlantis' bay. Seen here inspecting the airlock are Pilot Doug Hurley (left), and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim. The astronauts are at Kennedy to participate in a launch countdown dress rehearsal called the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) and related training. Atlantis and its crew are targeted to lift off July 8, taking with them the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts to the International Space Station. The STS-135 mission also will fly a system to investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing satellites and return a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. STS-135 will be the 33rd flight of Atlantis, the 37th shuttle mission to the space station, and the 135th and final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program.

Summary
The NIST-4 Kibble balance, which began full operation in early 2015 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States, measured Planck's constant to within 13 parts per billion in 2017, which was accurate enough to assist with the redefinition of the kilogram planned for 2019.
