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.

STS-131 space shuttle Discovery lands at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

From the edge of the KSC runway, space shuttle Discovery lands at the conclusion of mission STS-132 on April 20, 2010. This video was shot from the press viewing site next to the control tower at NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility. The tower is located at the midfield location halfway down the 15000 foot runway. Discovery completed a resupply and maintenance mission to the International Space Station on its next-to-last flight ever in the shuttle program. www.spaceflightnews.net

Expedition 25 Hands Over the Space Station to Expedition 26

The reins of the International Space Station were passed from Expedition 25 Commander Doug Wheelock to Expedition 26 Commander Scott Kelly in a ceremony aboard the complex Nov. 24. The other station crew members looked on. Wheelock, Shannon Walker and Fyodor Yurchikhin will return to Earth in their Soyuz TMA-19 spacecraft Nov. 25 for a parachute-assisted landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan.

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 ...

NASA's Dynamic Duo on Launch Pads

For the first time since July 2001, and the last time ever, two space shuttles are on the launch pads at the same time at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Atlantis is targeted to lift off on the STS-125 mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, and Endeavour is ready to act as a rescue vehicle for Atlantis, if needed. After Atlantis' safe landing, Endeavour will roll around to pad 39A for its upcoming STS-126 mission to the International Space Station.

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.

Part 1 of aerial tour of Cape Canaveral onboard helicopter with 920th Rescue Wing

An aerial tour of Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center onbaord an HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter with the 920th Rescue Wing from Patrick, AFB in Florida. Members of the 920th took the media on an aerial survey of the launch pads and facilities of Cape Canaveral and KSC. some people flew on HC-130 aircraft and others, including me, flew on the Pave Hawks. We flew over the Delta 2 complex, SLC-17, up ICBM row to the Delta IV complex SLc-37 and the Atlas 5 launch pad SLC-41, SpaceX Falcon 9 pad at SLC-40 and the space shuttle launch pad 39-A. We then flew by the Vehicle Assembly Building and cruised down the space shuttle landing runway. Our tour winds up with an overflight of the KSC Visitor Center and then we head back to the Skid Strip at Cape Canaveral for landing. This is part one of a two-part video.
