Two NASA Space Shuttles on Two Launch Pads for Final Time

Video Courtesy NASA/courtesy of nasaimages.org Following rollout of space shuttle Endeavour from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B on April 17, two shuttles were on the launch pads at the same time at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla. Shuttle Atlantis already had been moved to Launch Pad 39A. Endeavour will stand by at pad B in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary during Atlantis' upcoming mission to upgrade NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Atlantis is targeted to launch May 12. With the space shuttle fleet set for retirement in 2010, this is expected to be the final time two shuttles will be on launch pads at the same time. Video includes aerials of the shuttles on April 17, and sunrise shots and additional aerials on April 18.

NASA's canceled spacecraft and rockets, Orion and Ares 1-X

NASA has been busy planning for a new spacecraft, the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), to be able to rendezvous with the ISS and then to take a crew back to the moon in conjunction with the Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM). A Crew Launch Vehicle, named Ares I, derived from the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) will deliver the CEV to low Earth Orbit (LEO) while a larger rocket, Ares 5, will deliver ISS cargo of the LSAM to LEO. Once in LEO, the CEV and LSAM will dock and a J-2X Earth Departure Stage (EDS) will deliver the CEV/LSAM to Low Lunar Orbit (LLO) at 100 km. The EDS is discarded and CEV/LSAM temporarily decouple. The LSAM then performs the Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) to deliver the LSAM to the lunar surface will all 4 astronauts onboard. After some amount of time on the surface, an ascent stage from the LSAM boosts the crew back to LLO and the ascent stage docks with the unattended CEV. The ascent stage is discarded and the service module section of the CEV boosts the crew module (with crew) towards Earth reentry, and the service module is then discarded. The crew module reenters the upper atmosphere and an ablative heat shield slows the craft to a point where it is captured by the Earth. Parachutes then slow the crew module for a land (or sea in emergencies) landing. Whew, safe at last from solar storms! Ares V will be able to launch 130 metric tons LEO inclined at 28.5 degrees or it can deliver 55 metric tons to trans-lunar orbit. By comparison, the ...

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER Florida

On the east coast of the Florida Peninsula, Cape Canaveral juts out into the Atlantic, an uninhabitable area that consists of lagoons, mangrove swamps and marshes. As far back as 1949, the 'Rocket Trials Zone', as it was then known, has been further developed and extended to become the world famous Space Station it is today. From here, the first Americans went into orbit and also landed on the moon and more than 110 manned space flights have been launched from the Cape which, in its golden years, employed more than 25000. Models of numerous rockets are displayed along with monitors that show the original pre-launch countdown procedure. The layout of the launch surveillance control room is featured in the Apollo Saturn 5 Center and, in the distance, an impressive array of launch pads is on view. The Kennedy Space Center is America's 'gateway to the stars' from where rockets, satellites and astronauts are launched into the universe to explore the unknown. Our feet well and truly on the ground, most of us will never get closer to space than this truly impressive, historic yet futuristic, space center.

Testing the STS-119 Discovery Crew Jan27-2009

NARRATOR: The seven astronauts who will fly space shuttle Discovery to the International Space Station recently completed a full launch dress rehearsal, known as the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test, or TCDT, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew members arrived in their T-38 jets Jan. 19, and after a short briefing, headed off to Launch Pad 39B to practice driving M-113 armored personnel carriers. Veteran astronaut Lee Archambault will command the STS-119 flight, assisted by Pilot Tony Antonelli, Mission Specialists Joseph Acaba, John Phillips, Steve Swanson, Richard Arnold and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi Wakata. Late in the afternoon, Archambault and Antonelli took to the skies in NASA's Shuttle Training Aircraft to practice landing a jet that handles much like the space shuttle. The next day, the astronauts took part in safety training at the 195-foot level of Launch Pad 39A. The crew also inspected Discovery's payload bay with the S6 truss and US solar arrays tucked securely inside. On the final day of training, the crew members suited up and checked the fit of their flight suits, helmets and gloves. They left the Operations and Checkout Building waving to a crowd of well-wishers and made their way out to the pad. After all the crew members were seated in Discovery's flight deck, technicians briefly closed the hatch. After wrapping up three days of intensive training, the astronauts left Kennedy for NASA's Johnson Space ...

America's Pride Tribute to Nasa's Crew and Shuttle.wmv

The Space Shuttle is the first orbital spacecraft designed for reuse. It carries different payloads to Low Earth Orbit, provides crew rotation for the International Space Station (ISS), and performs servicing missions. The orbiter can also recover satellites and other payloads from orbit and return them to Earth. Each Shuttle was designed for a projected lifespan of 100 launches or ten years of operational life, although this was later extended. The person in charge of designing the STS was Maxime Faget, who had also overseen the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft designs. The crucial factor in the size and shape of the Shuttle Orbiter was the requirement that it be able to accommodate the largest planned commercial and classified satellites, and have the cross-range recovery range to meet the requirement for classified USAF missions for a once-around abort from a launch to a polar orbit. Factors involved in opting for solid rockets and an expendable fuel tank included the desire of the Pentagon to obtain a high-capacity payload vehicle for satellite deployment, and the desire of the Nixon administration to reduce the costs of space exploration by developing a spacecraft with reusable components. Six airworthy Space Shuttle orbiters have been built; the first, Enterprise, was not built for orbital space flight, and was used only for testing purposes. Five space-worthy orbiters were built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. Enterprise was ...

STS-124 Launch Rehearsal

The crew of space shuttle Discovery's STS-124 mission arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to take part in the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test on May 6. Space Shuttle Launch Director Mike Leinbach and Discovery's Flow Director Stephanie Stilson warmly greeted the astronauts at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility. Commander Mark Kelly leads the crew that includes Pilot Ken Ham, Mission Specialists Karen Nyberg, Mike Fossum, Greg Chamitoff, Ron Garan and Japanese astronaut, Aki Hoshide. The crew paused briefly to speak to the media. "But it's great to see the vehicle at the pad. The folks here at KSC worked really, really hard for many months to get the space shuttle ready for launch. " During the three days of training, Kelly and Ham made several flights in the Shuttle Training Aircraft to simulate shuttle landings on the 3-mile-long runway the orbiters' land on when returning from space. Emergency exit training at the launch pad included practice driving M-113 armored personnel carriers, developed to help them leave the area quickly and safely in the unlikely event of an emergency. On the agenda was a trip to the 195-foot level of launch pad 39A for briefings at the slidewire baskets and in the safety bunker that are both part of the pad's emergency exit system. Later, outfitted in clean-room bunny suits, the crew inspected Discovery's cargo, the Japanese Kibo Laboratory Pressurized Module, stowed securely inside its payload bay. On the final day at ...

STS 120 Launch, Discovery (Oct. 23, 2007)

STS 120 Orbiter: Discovery Mission: Space Station Assembly Mission 10A Primary Payload: Harmony Node 2 Launch Date: Oct. 23, 2007 Launch Time: 11:38 am EDT Launch Pad: 39A Landing Date: Nov. 7, 2007 Landing Time: 1:01 pm EST Landing Site: Kennedy Space Center Inclination/Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles Carrying a crew of seven astronauts, space shuttle Discovery began mission STS-120 with a brilliant, on-time launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 23, 2007. The prime payload was an Italian-built US module called Harmony. The construction mission's two primary goals were to attach Harmony to the International Space Station in a temporary position and relocate the P6 truss segment and its solar arrays to the end of the port side of the station. The mission, commanded by Pam Melroy, also delivered Mission Specialist Dan Tani to the space station, where he replaced astronaut Clay Anderson who returned to Earth on Discovery after spending five months onboard the station. The crew conducted four spacewalks during the mission, including one which pitted shuttle, station and ground crews against a snagged and torn solar array. Outstanding work by the teams resulted in a repaired, fully deployed and functional array, paving the way for upcoming missions.

NASA Lunar - Simulated Crew Module Arrives to Top off Ares IX

NARRATOR: NASA's Constellation Program is a step closer to the first test flight of the vehicle that will send humans on their way to the moon. Hardware that will be used for the test flight of Ares IX was delivered by a C-5 aircraft to Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility in January 2009. The equipment, consisting of a meticulously engineered simulated crew module and launch abort system, was carefully unloaded from the belly of the enormous aircraft. The launch abort system simulator is 46 feet in length and will fit over the crew module and tower above it, forming the nose of the vehicle. Two flatbed trucks transported the hardware to High Bay 4 of Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building. Inside the massive building, workers removed the protective blue cover from the simulated crew module. This hardware and other elements will be integrated into the full-scale Ares IX test launch vehicle. Kennedy's Launch Pad 39B will be the site of the first Ares IX test flight targeted to launch in 2009 -- an important step toward developing Ares I, NASA's next-generation crew launch vehicle.

Shuttle landing on lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base

This 25 second movie clip shows a Shuttle landing on lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base. During 1977 the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, hosted the Approach and Landing Tests for the space shuttle prototype Enterprise. Since the shuttles would land initially on Rogers Dry Lakebed adjacent to Dryden on Edwards Air Force Base, NASA had already modified a Boeing 747 to carry them back to their launch site at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Computer calculations and simulations had predicted the mated shuttle and 747 could fly together safely, but NASA wanted to verify that prediction in a controlled flight-test environment before the shuttles went into operation. The agency also wanted to glide test the orbiter to ensure it could land safely before sending it into space with human beings aboard. NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, developed a three-phase test program. First, an unpiloted-captive phase tested the shuttle/747 combination without a crew on the Enterprise in case of a problem that required jettisoning the prototype. There were three taxi tests and five flight tests without a crew in the shuttle. That phase ended on March 2, 1977. The second or captive-active phase-completed on July 26, 1977, flew the orbiter mated to the 747 with a two-person crew inside. Finally there were five flights-completed on October 26, 1977, in which the orbiter separated from the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA, as the 747 was designated) and landed ...

NASA Hints It's Found Missing Moon-Landing Videotapes Tuesday, July 14, 2009 Print ShareThis NASA A still of the original video feed from Apollo 11. The rediscovered videotapes should be of the same or better quality. It looks like NASA has found the missing moon-landing videotapes. A carefully worded media advisory note issued Monday promised that "greatly improved video imagery from the July 1969 live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moonwalk" would be made public Thursday. Rumors have been flying around the Internet for weeks that NASA, after years of searching, had discovered the original recordings of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's lunar excursion — which the space agency once feared had been accidentally destroyed. The story, as summarized by Britain's Sunday Express newspaper in late June, was that the tapes had been found in a storage facility in the basement of a building on a university campus in Perth, Australia. Monday's statement appeared to confirm that report, stating that the footage comes from what is "believed to be the best available broadcast-format copies of the lunar excursion, some of which had been locked away for nearly 40 years." Back on July 20, 1969, the raw video feed from the moon was beamed to the Parkes Observatory radio telescope in southeastern Australia, as well as two other radio telescopes in Australia and California. The feed was then compressed and sent to Mission Control in Houston. Because of technical issues, NASA's images couldn't be ...

First Paragliding Flight, Fuyang China

After several weeks of ground handling (practice) lessons and instruction I finally took my first paragliding flight. This launch site is is Fuyang, China about 1 hour from Hangzhou (3 hours South of Shanghai). I had 5 flights on this, my first day. The launch site is on a 300m hill overlooking a farm covered valley. At the landing site local van drivers come out to shuttle gliders back up the hillside. This was a really exciting and beautiful day for me. Many thanks to my teacher Hubi and the other pilots who assisted me on this first day of flying (esp you Riyadh!)

I shoot this as a way to give a better sense of how you would read a Dragonfly Flipz book. I kept the repeating soundtrack, which is from a later Killzone 2 trailer, simple for that reason. I think of my Dragonfly Flipz Mini-Books as a new graphic novel, comic book, and story book format. I plan to develop them for movie tie-in books (like for Transformer, Batman, etc), and education title (like a Space Shuttle launch, or Mars Landing). My thanks to all the people who have watched my video. Enjoy.

X-23B Nasa Experimental Craft

A fleet of lifting bodies flown at the NASA Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, from 1963 to 1975 demonstrated the ability of pilots to maneuver (in the atmosphere) and safely land a wingless vehicle. These lifting bodies were basically designed so they could fly back to Earth from space and be landed like an aircraft at a pre-determined site. (In 1976 NASA renamed the FRC as the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in honor of Hugh L. Dryden.) In 1962, FRC Director Paul Bikle approved a program to build a lightweight, unpowered lifting body as a prototype to flight test the wingless concept. It would look like a "flying bathtub," and was designated the M2-F1. It featured a plywood shell, built by Gus Briegleb (a sailplane builder from El Mirage, California) placed over a tubular steel frame crafted at the FRC. Construction was completed in 1963. The success of the Flight Research Center M2-F1 program led to NASA development and construction of two heavyweight lifting bodies based on studies at the NASA Ames and Langley research centers--the M2-F2 and the HL-10, both built by the Northrop Corporation, Hawthorne, California. The Air Force also became interested in lifting body research and had a third design concept built, the X-24A, built by the Martin Company, Denver, Colorado. It was later modified into the X-24B and both configurations were flown in the joint NASA-Air Force lifting body program located at Dryden. The X-24B design evolved from a family of ...

2018: Return To The Moon - Orbiter Space Flight Simulator

The Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) was NASA's planned manned spacecraft intended to carry human crews from Earth into space and back again from 2012 on. The CEV would be launched into earth orbit by the Crew Launch Vehicle, a shuttle-derived two-stage rocket consisting of a single Shuttle RSRM solid booster as the first stage and a new second stage, 5.5 m in diameter, using Lox/LH2 propellants and powered by a single SSME. Lunar Mission involved the placing in an earth parking orbit by a shuttle-derived heavy-lift Cargo Launch Vehicle of a trans-lunar injection (TLI) stage and an unmanned Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM). Within 30 days, a Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV) would launch the CEV into orbit. The CEV would rendezvous and dock with the LSAM and TLI stage. The combined spacecraft would be put on a trans-lunar trajectory by the TLI stage, which would then be jettisoned. The LSAM would brake the combined CEV and LSAM spacecraft into lunar orbit. The four-man crew would transfer to the LSAM and descend to the surface (Here, Tycho crater), leaving the CEV in quiescent mode in lunar orbit for up to six months. When the crew was ready to leave the moon, they would fire the LSAM ascent stage, and then rendezvous and dock with the unmanned CEV. The LSAM would be cast away, and the CEV would perform the trans-earth injection maneuver, its only major engine burn. On approach to earth, the CM would separate from the SM after being set up for the precise angle and position ...
