VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Orbital Sciences’ spacecraft technicians guide half of the Pegasus payload fairing away from NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, in Orbital’s hangar on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Access to the spacecraft is needed for compatibility testing to verify communication with a tracking station in Hawaii. With the change in the launch timeframe to June, this station will be needed to support launch. After processing of Orbital’s Pegasus XL rocket and the spacecraft are complete, they will be flown on Orbital's L-1011 carrier aircraft from Vandenberg to the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site on the Pacific Ocean’s Kwajalein Atoll for launch. The high-energy X-ray telescope will conduct a census of black holes, map radioactive material in young supernovae remnants, and study the origins of cosmic rays and the extreme physics around collapsed stars.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Workers and media at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, monitor the arrival of a tractor-trailer carrying the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, or AMS, to the Space Station Processing Facility, where it will be prepared for launch. AMS, a state-of-the-art particle physics detector, is designed to operate as an external module on the International Space Station. It will use the unique environment of space to study the universe and its origin by searching for dark matter. The STS-134 crew will fly AMS to the International Space Station aboard space shuttle Endeavour, targeted to launch Feb. 26, 2011. Photo credit: NASA/Frankie Martin KSC-2010-4499

Pegasus, Meteoroidendetektionssatellit - Saturn Apollo Program

description

Zusammenfassung

Auf diesem Foto ist der Meteoroidenerkennungssatellit Pegasus in seinem speziell modifizierten Apollo-Servicemodul auf der S-IV-Stufe (zweite Stufe) eines Saturn-I-Fahrzeugs für die SA-9-Mission in Cape Kennedy installiert. Mitarbeiter der Servicestruktur brachten das Apollo-Kommandomodul an Ort und Stelle, um das Fahrzeug abzudecken. Die hier sichtbaren Kommando- und Servicemodule wurden in die Umlaufbahn geworfen, um den Pegasus für den Flügeleinsatz freizugeben. Der Satellit wurde eingesetzt, um Daten über Häufigkeit und Durchdringung der potenziell gefährlichen Mikrometeoroiden in niedrigen Erdumlaufbahnen zu erhalten und die Informationen zur Erde zurückzuschicken. Die SA-9 wurde am 16. Februar 1965 gestartet.
