Weathering the largest storm recorded to date to hit Florida, U.S. Air Force members of the 45th Hurricane Recovery Team, Patrick Air Force Base, Fla., watch for news of Hurricane Frances as it makes its way to the central eastern coast of Florida. A team of 57 military and civilian personnel assigned to the Team weathered the effects of hurricane Frances at an Air Force annex in Malabar, Fla. The small annex is located a few miles southwest of Patrick and has facilities strong enough to weather the storm effects of a hurricane. Once the hurricane moves through central Florida the recovery teams will deploy to Patrick to secure the base and establish flight operations. (U.S. Air Force...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. –  A NASA official talks to visitors at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida about the Orion crew exploration vehicle mockup and the Constellation Program. The Orion mockup is on display before heading offshore to be tested in open water. The spacecraft mock-up traveled from the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Carderock Division in Bethesda, Md. The goal of the open water testing, dubbed the Post-landing Orion Recovery Test, or PORT, is to determine what kind of motion astronauts can expect after landing, as well as outside conditions for recovery teams. Part of the Constellation Program, Orion is targeted to begin carrying humans to the International Space Station in 2015 and to the moon by 2020.   Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-2009-2505

The goal of the operation, dubbed the Post-landing Orion Recovery Test, or PORT, is to determine what kind of motion astronauts can expect after landing, as well as outside conditions for recovery teams.  Orion is targeted to begin carrying humans to the International Space Station in 2015 and to the moon by 2020. Orion, along with the Ares I and V rockets and the Altair lunar lander, are part of the Constellation Program.  Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-2009-2564
