CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a large yellow, metal sling lifts shuttle Discovery from the transfer aisle into High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building. In the bay, the shuttle will be attached to its external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters. The operation began Sept. 9 and wrapped up early Sept. 10. Discovery is scheduled to roll out to Launch Pad 39A later this month in preparation for its launch to the International Space Station on the STS-133 mission. Targeted to lift off Nov. 1, Discovery will take the Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2 (R2) to the station.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Vehicle Assembly Building's High Bay 4, assembly of the Ares I-X rocket nears completion. The yellow framework, nicknamed the "birdcage," is lowered by crane over Super Stack 5. The birdcage has the ability to lift and to stack and de-stack the Ares I-X rocket's Super Stack 5. Next, the stack will be lifted on top of the segments already in place on the mobile launcher platform, completing assembly of the rocket. Five super stacks make up the rocket's upper stage that will be integrated with the four-segment solid rocket booster first stage. Ares I-X is the test vehicle for the Ares I, which is part of the Constellation Program to return men to the moon and beyond. The Ares I-X flight test is targeted for Oct. 31, pending formal NASA Headquarters approval. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-2009-4646

Zusammenfassung

STS-38 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, hebt um 18: 48: 15: 06 Uhr (Eastern Standard Time (EST)) vom Startplatz des Kennedy Space Center (KSC) für eine Mission ab, die dem Verteidigungsministerium (DOD) gewidmet ist. OV-104, oben auf dem externen Tank (ET) und flankiert von Feststoffraketen-Boostern (SRBs), ist fast frei von dem Startturm, der von den Abschüssen des SRB und des Space Shuttle Haupttriebwerks (SSME) beleuchtet wird. Scheinwerfergeräte sind gegen den SRB / SSME-Schein im Vordergrund silhouettiert. Die eingefahrene rotierende Servicestruktur (RSS) wird gegen die Abenddämmerung durch das Abschussfeuerwerk hervorgehoben.
