NASA, Boeing and United Launch Alliance (ULA) conduct a simulation of launch procedures for Boeing’s Orbital Test Flight, the first uncrewed test of the company’s CST-100 Starliner and a ULA Atlas V rocket. Launch teams participated in the simulation across the country, including inside the Launch Vehicle Data Center at Hangar AE at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The Starliner will launch on an Atlas V rocket to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Launch Vehicle Data Center- 1 in Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Hangar AE, (from right) JJ Joyner, Jonathan Cruz and Stuart Cooke take part in a countdown simulation for the upcoming Ares I-X flight test. The LVDC was developed by NASA's Kennedy Space Center to support multiple test operations in parallel or a single large launch operation. The LVDC works in tandem with the adjacent Mission Director Center, the control room where NASA launch managers monitor expendable vehicle launches, and where the final decision to launch is made.

In the Mission Director's Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, NASA and contractor managers and engineers monitor progress during a countdown rehearsal for the launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket with the Joint Polar Satellite System-1, or JPSS-1, spacecraft. Built by Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colorado, JPSS is the first in a series four next-generation environmental satellites in a collaborative program between the NOAA and NASA. Liftoff is scheduled to take place from Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex 2.
