CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. --Solid rocket booster, or SRB, segments from the STS-126 launch are being loaded onto transporters to take to the NASA Railroad yard at NASA's Kennedy Space Center for transfer to a rail car. The segments will be taken to Utah. After a mission, the spent boosters are recovered, cleaned, disassembled, refurbished and reused for another launch. After the segments are hydrolased inside, they are placed on flatbed trucks and transferred to the NASA Railroad yard. The NASA Railroad locomotive backs up the rail cars and the segments will be lowered onto the car. After being covered for the trip, the segments will be moved to Titusville for interchange with Florida East Coast Railway to begin the trip back to Utah. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-08pd4060

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, workers prepare the Delta II second stage for GLAST for weighing. The Delta rocket will be used to launch the Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, May 16 from Launch Pad 17-B on CCAFS. The GLAST is a powerful space observatory that will explore the Universe's ultimate frontier, where nature harnesses forces and energies far beyond anything possible on Earth; probe some of science's deepest questions, such as what our Universe is made of, and search for new laws of physics; explain how black holes accelerate jets of material to nearly light speed; and help crack the mystery of stupendously powerful explosions known as gamma-ray bursts.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians position the Project Morpheus lander onto a transporter inside a support building at the Shuttle Landing Facility, or SLF. Testing of the prototype lander has been ongoing at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston in preparation for free flight testing at Kennedy. The SLF will provide the lander with the kind of field necessary for realistic testing, complete with rocks, craters and hazards to avoid. Morpheus utilizes an autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology, or ALHAT, payload that will allow it to navigate to clear landing sites amidst rocks, craters and other hazards during its descent. Project Morpheus is one of 20 small projects comprising the Advanced Exploration Systems, or AES, program in NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. AES projects pioneer new approaches for rapidly developing prototype systems, demonstrating key capabilities and validating operational concepts for future human missions beyond Earth orbit.

Резюме
Внутри здания 1555 на базе ВВС Ванденберг в Калифорнии техники и инженеры разгружают двигатель первой ступени ракеты Orbital ATK Pegasus, которая выведет на орбиту восемь космических аппаратов NASA Cyclone Global System, или CYGNSS. После завершения подготовительных работ в Ванденберге ракета с CYGNSS в качестве полезной нагрузки будет прикреплена к самолету-носителю Orbital ATK L-1011 и отправлена в Космический центр имени Кеннеди НАСА во Флориде. На 12 декабря 2016 года запланирован взлет самолета-носителя с авиабазы ВВС на мысе Канаверал, а запуск CYGNSS на ракете Pegasus с L-1011 на борту. CYGNSS будет производить частые и точные измерения океанских поверхностных ветров на протяжении всего жизненного цикла ураганов и ураганов. Данные, которые предоставляет CYGNSS, позволят ученым исследовать ключевые процессы взаимодействия воздуха и моря, происходящие вблизи ядра штормов, которые быстро меняются и играют решающую роль в начале и усилении ураганов.
