The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-K (GOES-K) is placed on display for news media representatives at the Astrotech Space Operations LP facility in Titusville. GOES-K, the latest in the current series of advanced geostationary weather satellites in service, is scheduled to be launched into space aboard an Atlas 1 rocket on April 24 from Launch Complex 36, Pad B, Cape Canaveral Air Station. Once in orbit, GOES-K will become GOES-10, joining GOES-8 and GOES-9 in space KSC-97pc476

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, engineers and technicians have begun the process to stow the power-generating solar arrays for the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, or MAVEN, spacecraft. MAVEN is being prepared for its scheduled launch on Nov 18, 2013 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. Positioned in an orbit above the Red Planet, MAVEN will study the upper atmosphere of Mars in unprecedented detail.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In the Vertical Integration Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, workers on either side monitor the progress of the payload canister as it is raised to a vertical position. The canister contains the Japanese Experiment Module -Pressurized Module, which will be transported to Launch Pad 39A for space shuttle Discovery’s STS-124 mission. At the pad, the payload will be transferred from the canister into the payload changeout room on the rotating service structure. The changeout room is the enclosed, environmentally controlled portion of the service structure that supports cargo delivery to the pad and subsequent vertical installation into an orbiter's payload bay. On the mission, the STS-124 crew will transport the JEM as well as the Japanese Remote Manipulator System to the International Space Station. The launch of Discovery is targeted for May 31.
