CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A truck tows the United Launch Alliance Atlas V first stage booster through Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida en route to the Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center, or ASOC. The booster, which was delivered by barge to nearby Port Canaveral, will be used to launch NASA's Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission. The Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or RBSP, mission will help us understand the sun’s influence on Earth and near-Earth space by studying the Earth’s radiation belts on various scales of space and time.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The shipping container with the Wide Field Camera 3, or WFC3, inside is removed from the truck outside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. As Hubble enters the last stage of its life, WFC3 will be Hubble's next evolutionary step, allowing Hubble to peer ever further into the mysteries of the cosmos. WFC3 will study a diverse range of objects and phenomena, from young and extremely distant galaxies, to much more nearby stellar systems, to objects within our very own solar system. WFC3 will take the place of Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, which astronauts will bring back to Earth aboard the shuttle. WFC3 is part of the payload on the fifth and final Hubble servicing mission, STS-125, targeted for launch Oct. 8. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-08pd2378

Aircraft carriers are warships that act as airbases for carrier-based aircraft. In the United States Navy, these consist of ships commissioned with hull classification symbols CV (aircraft carrier), CVA (attack aircraft carrier), CVB (large aircraft carrier), CVL (light aircraft carrier), CVN (aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion) and CVAN (attack aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion). The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy was USS Langley (CV-1) on 20 March 1922.
