CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A Delta IV Heavy rocket lifts off from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida carrying NASA's Orion spacecraft on an unpiloted flight test to Earth orbit. Liftoff was at 7:05 a.m. EST. During the two-orbit, four-and-a-half hour mission, engineers will evaluate the systems critical to crew safety, the launch abort system, the heat shield and the parachute system.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. --- On Pad 17-B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the solid rocket booster is raised from its transporter toward a vertical position. When it has been raised, the booster will be lifted into the mobile service tower for mating with the Delta II rocket that will launch NASA's Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, spacecraft. Two other boosters are already in place. A series of nine strap-on solid rocket motors will help power the first stage. Because the Delta rocket is configured as a Delta II 7920 Heavy, the boosters are larger than those used on the standard configuration. 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. Launch is currently planned for May 16 from Pad 17-B. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann KSC-08pd0864

Summary

S65-29601 (3 June 1965) --- Distant view of the launch of the Gemini-Titan 4 (GT-4) spacecraft from Pad 19 at 10:16 a.m. (EST) on June 3, 1965. The Gemini IV spacecraft carried astronauts James A. McDivitt, command pilot; and Edward H. White II, pilot, on a four-day, 62-revolution mission that lasted 97 hours and 56 minutes.
