CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Receipt Inspection Shop on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, an ATK Space Systems' 60-inch graphite epoxy motor, or GEM, slated for launch of the GOES-P spacecraft is lifted from the tractor-trailer in which it was delivered. The two GEMs in the foreground were delivered previously to support another mission. The United Launch Alliance Delta IV is the launch vehicle for GOES-P, the latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. Launch is targeted for March 4, 2010, from Launch Complex 37. For information on GOES-P, visit http://nasascience.nasa.gov/missions/goes-n-o-p. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis KSC-2009-5452
