CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Vigilant workers monitor the second stage of a Delta IV as it is lifted from its transporter by crane in the Horizontal Integration Facility at Launch Complex 37 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. This United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket is the vehicle slated to launch GOES-P, the latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. Processing of the Delta IV is on track for launch, targeted for March 4, 2010. For information on GOES-P, visit http://goespoes.gsfc.nasa.gov/goes/spacecraft/n_p_spacecraft.html.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a new mobile launcher, or ML, under construction to support the Constellation Program is surrounded by cranes. The ML's tower will have multiple platforms for personnel access and be approximately 345 feet tall. The launcher is being built at the mobile launcher park site area located north of Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building to support the Ares I rocket. The ML will provide a base to launch the Ares I, designed to transport the Orion crew exploration vehicle, its crew and cargo to low Earth orbit. The base is being made lighter than space shuttle mobile launcher platforms so the crawler-transporter can pick up the heavier load of the tower and taller rocket.
