Carried by an overhead crane, the P6 integrated truss segment travels the length of the Space Station Processing Facility toward a payload transport canister that will transfer it to Launch Pad 39B. At the pad, the Space Station element will be placed in Endeavour’s payload bay for launch on mission STS-97. The P6 comprises Solar Array Wing-3 and the Integrated Electronic Assembly, to be installed on the Space Station. The Station’s electrical power system will use eight photovoltaic solar arrays, each 112 feet long by 39 feet wide, to convert sunlight to electricity. The solar arrays are mounted on a “blanket” that can be folded like an accordion for delivery. Once in orbit, astronauts will deploy the blankets to their full size. Gimbals will be used to rotate the arrays so that they will face the Sun to provide maximum power to the Space Station. The STS-97 launch is scheduled Nov. 30 at 10:06 p.m. EST KSC-00pp1686
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the newly arrived ExPRESS Logistics Carrier 3, or ELC-3, is lifted above two Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules positioned along the wall of the clean room. ELC-3 and the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer are the primary payloads for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-134 mission to the International Space Station. The STS-134 crew will also deliver spare parts including two S-band communications antennas, a high pressure gas tank, additional spare parts for Dextre and micrometeoroid debris shields. Endeavour's launch is targeted for July 29, 2010. For information on the STS-134 mission objectives and crew, visit http://www.nasa.gov/shuttle. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-2009-6674
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Technicians monitor the progress as one of space shuttle Endeavour's three fuel cells is removed from the vehicle's payload bay. The operation took place inside Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. All three of Endeavour's fuel cells were removed and will be drained of fluids. The hydrogen and oxygen dewars which feed reactants to the fuel cells remain in Endeavour's midbody and will be purged with inert gases and vented down. The work is part of the Space Shuttle Program's transition and retirement processing of shuttle Endeavour, which is being prepared for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Its ferry flight to California is targeted for mid-September. Endeavour was the last space shuttle added to NASA's orbiter fleet. Over the course of its 19-year career, Endeavour spent 299 days in space during 25 missions. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/shuttle. Photo credit: NASA/Glenn Benson KSC-2012-3105
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In Orbiter Processing Facility-1 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a thermal protection system technician has secured a newly installed heat shield tile in place under space shuttle Atlantis with a pressure fitting to ensure a tight bond. The tiles are part of the Orbiter Thermal Protection System, thermal shields to protect against temperatures as high as 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which are produced during descent for landing. Atlantis is being prepared for the STS-135 mission, which will deliver the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies, logistics and spare parts to the International Space Station. STS-135 is targeted to launch June 28, and will be the last spaceflight for the Space Shuttle Program. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-2011-1405

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, workers attach an overhead crane to Harmony, the Italian-built U.S. Node 2 connecting module for the International Space Station. The module will be lifted and transferred to another stand for weighing. Harmony is part of the payload for space shuttle Discovery on mission STS-120. Launch is targeted for Oct. 23.

In the Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF), workers guide the suspended Unity connecting module, part of the International Space Station, as they move it to another location in the SSPF. As the primary payload on mission STS-88, scheduled to launch Dec. 3, 1998, Unity will be mated to the Russian-built Zarya control module which should already be in orbit at that time. In the SSPF, Unity is undergoing testing such as the Pad Demonstration Test to verify the compatibility of the module with the Space Shuttle, as well as the ability of the astronauts to send and receive commands to Unity from the flight deck of the orbiter, and the common berthing mechanism to which other space station elements will dock. Unity is expected to be ready for installation into the payload canister on Oct. 25, and transported to Launch Pad 39-A on Oct. 27 KSC-98pc1323
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In Orbiter Processing Facility-2 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians help lift away the large crane that was used to lower the forward reaction control system (FRCS) for installation on space shuttle Endeavour. The work is part of the Space Shuttle Program transition and retirement processing of Endeavour. The FRCS helped maneuver a shuttle while it was in orbit. The FRCS was removed from Endeavour and sent to White Sands Test Facility in N.M. to be cleaned of its toxic propellants. Endeavour is being prepared for display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis KSC-2012-1284
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Suspended under an overhead crane, the U.S. Lab Destiny nears the weigh stand at left. A component of the International Space Station, Destiny is scheduled to fly on mission STS-98 in early 2001. During the mission, the crew will install the Lab during a series of three space walks. The STS-98 mission will provide the station with science research facilities and expand its power, life support and control capabilities. The U.S. Lab module continues a long tradition of microgravity materials research, first conducted by Skylab and later Shuttle and Spacelab missions. Destiny is expected to be a major feature in future research, providing facilities for biotechnology, fluid physics, combustion, and life sciences research KSC-00pp0802

Резюме
Стены испытательного комплекса космической станции в Космическом центре им. Кеннеди (KSC) заложены в ожидании запуска американского узла № 2 (внизу слева). и первый усовершенствованный модуль японского космического модуля (JEM) (верхний справа), получивший название "Кибо" (Надежда). Узел 2, "утилитарный узел" и второй из трех стыковочных узлов между модулями Международной космической станции (МКС), был построен в итальянском городе Турин международной компанией Alenia, базирующейся в Риме. Основной вклад Японии в создание станции, JEM, был сделан Японским агентством по освоению космического пространства (NASDA) в Космическом центре Цукуба под Токио и расширит исследовательские возможности на борту станции. Оба были частью соглашения между НАСА и Европейским космическим агентством (ESA). "Узел-2" станет следующим модулем, установленным на станции. Как только к нему присоединятся японские и европейские лаборатории, получившаяся роутер-станция расширится с эквивалентной площади дома с 3 спальнями до дома с 5 спальнями. Космический центр Маршалла в Хантсвилле, штат Алабама, управляет программой "Узел" для НАСА.
Международная космическая станция (МКС) - многоцелевая космическая станция на низкой околоземной орбите высотой от 330 до 435 километров. Он совершает 15,54 орбиты в день. Его первый компонент был запущен на орбиту в 1998 году, и в настоящее время МКС является крупнейшим искусственным телом на низкой околоземной орбите. МКС состоит из множества модулей, внешних ловушек, солнечных батарей и других компонентов. Компоненты МКС были запущены российскими "Протонами" и "Союзами", а также американскими космическими кораблями. МКС - это лаборатория космических исследований, полигон для испытаний технологий и систем, необходимых для полетов на Луну и Марс. Станция была непрерывно занята в течение 16 лет и 201 дня с момента прибытия первой экспедиции 2 ноября 2000 года. Это самое продолжительное непрерывное пребывание человека на низкой околоземной орбите, превзойдя предыдущий рекорд в 9 лет и 357 дней, который держал Мэттис. Станция оснащена различными посещаемыми космическими аппаратами: российскими "Союзами" и "Прогрессом", американскими Dragon и Cygnus, японским H-II Transfer Vehicle, а ранее Space Shield и европейским Automated Transfer Vehicle. Его посетили космонавты, космонавты и космические туристы из 17 разных стран.
