CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Hangar AF at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, two spent solid rocket boosters from space shuttle Endeavour, which launched Nov. 14 on the STS-126 mission, move into the hangar for inspection. The space shuttle’s solid rocket booster casings and associated flight hardware are recovered at sea after being jettisoned. The boosters impact the Atlantic Ocean approximately seven minutes after liftoff. After their recovery and transport to Hangar AF, the boosters are cleaned, inspected, disassembled, refurbished and reloaded with solid propellant for reuse.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the tower of NASA's new mobile launcher, or ML, support structure is seen from the structure's base. It took about two years to construct the launcher in the Mobile Launcher Park site, north of the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB. The 355-foot-tall structure will support NASA's future human spaceflight program. The base of the launcher is lighter than space shuttle mobile launcher platforms so the crawler-transporter can pick up the heavier load of the tower and a taller rocket. The next step will be to add ground support equipment, such as umbilicals and access arms, for future rocket launches. For information on NASA's future plans, visit www.nasa.gov.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- On Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a solid rocket motor, or SRM, is raised from its transporter. The SRM will be lifted into the mobile service tower and attached to the Delta II first stage inside the tower. The Delta II is the launch vehicle for the OSTM/Jason-2 spacecraft. The OSTM, or Ocean Topography Mission, on the Jason-2 satellite is a follow-on to Jason-1. It will take oceanographic studies of sea surface height into an operational mode for continued climate forecasting research and science and industrial applications. This satellite altimetry data will help determine ocean circulation, climate change and sea-level rise. OSTM is a joint effort by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, France’s Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales and the European Meteorological Satellite Organisation. OSTM/Jason-2 will be launched aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II 7320 from Vandenberg on June 15. Photo credit: NASA/Dan Liberotti KSC-08pd1332
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – The Delta II second stage for NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 mission, or OCO-2, is towed into place at the base of the mobile service tower at Space Launch Complex 2 on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Operations are underway to lift the second stage into the tower. OCO-2 is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket in July. The rocket's second stage will insert OCO-2 into a polar Earth orbit. OCO-2 will collect precise global measurements of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and provide scientists with a better idea of the chemical compound's impacts on climate change. Scientists will analyze this data to improve our understanding of the natural processes and human activities that regulate the abundance and distribution of this important atmospheric gas.

Резюме
Экспедиция 10 Ракета-носитель "Союз-ТМА-5" выкатилась на стартовую площадку на космодроме Байконур в Казахстане во вторник, 12 октября, в рамках подготовки к запуску 14 октября, чтобы отправить на Международную космическую станцию командира 10-й экспедиции и научного сотрудника НАСА Лероя Чиао, бортинженера и командира "Союза" Салижана Шарипова и космонавта Космических войск России Юрия Шаргина. Чао и Шариф заменят экипаж 9-й экспедиции в составе Геннадия Падалки и Майка Финна, а Шаргин проведет восемь дней научных экспериментов. Он вернется на Землю вместе с экипажем 9-й экспедиции 24 октября.
