KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The Dawn spacecraft is moved out of the Astrotech Space Operations facility, on its way to Launch Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. At the pad, Dawn will be lifted into the mobile service tower and prepared for mating with the awaiting Delta II rocket. Dawn is scheduled for launch in a window from 7:25 to 7:54 a.m. Sept. 26 from CCAFS. During its nearly decade-long mission, the Dawn mission will study the asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres, celestial bodies believed to have accreted early in the history of the solar system. To carry out its scientific mission, the Dawn spacecraft will carry a visible camera, a visible and infrared mapping spectrometer, and a gamma ray and neutron spectrometer, whose data will be used in combination to characterize these bodies. In addition to the three instruments, radiometric and optical navigation data will provide data relating to the gravity field and thus bulk properties and internal structure of the two bodies. Data returned from the Dawn spacecraft could provide opportunities for significant breakthroughs in our knowledge of how the solar system formed. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-07pd2423

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The second set of Ogive panels for the Orion Launch Abort System have arrived at the Launch Abort System Facility, or LASF, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. One of the Ogive panels has been uncrated and has been lowered by crane onto a work stand for storage. To the left are the first two Ogive panels positioned on a work stand. During processing, the panels will be secured around the Orion crew module and attached to the Launch Abort System. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, including an asteroid and Mars. It will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. The first unpiloted test flight of Orion is scheduled to launch in 2014 atop a Delta IV rocket and in 2017 on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket. For more information, visit www.nasa.gov/orion.

Summary
The original finding aid described this as:
Description: Photographic documentation of Solid Surface Combustion Experiment (SSCE) equipment stored on the Space Shuttle Discovery's middeck during STS-64. The SSCE was designed to supply information on flame spread over solid fuel surfaces in the reduced-gravity environment of space by measureing the rate of spreading, the solid-phase temperature, and the gas-phase temperature of flames spreading over rectangular fuel beds in low gravity. Includes views of Pilot Blaine Hammond with the SSCE equipment (012, 014-015).
