KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility sits Raffaello, one of two Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules (MPLMs) built by Italy for the International Space Station. Raffaello is scheduled on mission STS-100, the 9th flight to the Space Station in 2001. The other MPLM is Leonardo, scheduled on an earlier mission, STS-102, the 8th flight early in 2001 KSC00pp0781

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – A technician rolls a section of the fairing for NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, out of an environmental enclosure inside the Orbital Sciences processing facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California toward the facility’s clean room. The fairing will enclose and protect the spacecraft from the heat and aerodynamic pressure generated during ascent to orbit aboard an Orbital Sciences Pegasus XL rocket. After processing of the rocket and 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 in March. 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.
