KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, the Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft undergoes illumination testing of its solar array panels. The Phoenix will be launched toward Mars to land in icy soils near the planet's north polar permanent ice cap. It will explore the history of the water in these soils and any associated rocks, while monitoring polar climate. Landing on Mars is planned in May 2008 on arctic ground where a mission currently in orbit, Mars Odyssey, has detected high concentrations of ice just beneath the top layer of soil. Phoenix is scheduled to launch Aug. 3 from Pad 17-A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station . Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-07pd1618

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida technicians use an overhead crane to move the Lightweight Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure Carrier, or LMC, to a payload canister. The canister then will be installed into Atlantis' payload bay. Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley and Mission Specialists Sandra Magnus and Rex Walheim are targeted to lift off on July 8, taking with them the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies, logistics and spare parts. The STS-135 mission also will fly a system to investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing spacecraft 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.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Members of the STS-115 crew look over the mission payload in Crew Equipment Interface Test activities in the Space Station Processing Facility. The mission will deliver the second port truss segment, the P3/P4 Truss, to attach to the first port truss segment, the P1 Truss, as well as deploy solar array set 2A and 4A. Launch on Space Shuttle Endeavour is scheduled for May 23, 2003. KSC-03pd0191

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At Astrotech, a suspended set of solar array panels is opened prior to installation on the Dawn spacecraft. Another set was installed previously. Dawn is scheduled to launch June 30 aboard a Delta II rocket from Launch Complex 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Dawn's mission is to explore two of the asteroid belt's most intriguing and dissimilar occupants: asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton KSC-07pd1279

description

Zusammenfassung

STS-29 Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, das rechte hintere Segment der Feststoffrakete (SRB) wird im Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) zum Stapeln vorbereitet. Techniker untersuchen und bearbeiten die SRB-Dichtung von der Gerüstbühne aus. Die beiden Booster-Sets liefern 80 Prozent des Schubs für den Start des Space Shuttles. Jedes SRB besteht aus vier "beladenen" oder betankten Segmenten. Die SRBs arbeiten während der ersten beiden Flugminuten parallel zu den Haupttriebwerken des Space Shuttles (SSMEs), was zusätzlichen Schub verleiht, der erforderlich ist, um der Schwerkraft der Erde zu entkommen. In einer Höhe von etwa 24 Seemeilen trennen sich die SRBs, steigen an Fallschirmen ab und landen im Atlantik, wo sie geborgen und für zukünftige Flüge wiederverwendet werden.
