CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery, at right, awaits its turn to approach shuttle Endeavour outside Orbiter Processing Facility-3 (OPF-3). Discovery, which temporarily was being stored in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), is switching places with Endeavour, which has been undergoing decommissioning in OPF-1. Both shuttles will stop briefly outside OPF-3 for a "nose-to-nose" photo opportunity. Discovery then will be rolled into OPF-1 and Endeavour into the VAB. The image was taken from the top of the VAB. In OPF-1, Discovery will undergo further preparations for public display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. Endeavour will be stored in the VAB until October when it will be moved into OPF-2 for further work to get it ready for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

Summary

A Republic of Korea Air Force F-16D Falcon prepares to perform refuel training with a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 909th Air Refueling Squadron during a training exercise Oct. 8, 2019. The 909th ARS from Kadena Air Base trained with the ROKAF Falcons to deepen interoperability, enhancing joint lethality to maintain peace in a contested environment. The United States and Republic of Korea continue to build a comprehensive strategic alliance of bilateral, regional, and global scope based on common values and mutual trust. This alliance will strengthen the combined defense posture on the Korean Peninsula and enhance cooperation for regional and global security in the 21st century.
