ISS041-E-011814 (16 Sept. 2014) --- Though having been upgraded from a tropical storm to a Category 2 hurricane, the Atlantic-borne Edouard thus far has avoided land interests as it reached maximum sustained winds of 105 miles per hout, churning in ocean waters several hundred miles southeast of Bermuda. The Expedition 41 crew members onboard the International Space Station photographed and distributed a series of images via station-to-ground downlinks and via social media. This photo was taken at 15:29:04 GMT on Sept. 16, 2014. Though it had well-defined eye at this juncture, the eye does not show clearly in this image, as it does in others.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A group of news media and social media tweeters toured the Launch Abort System Facility and viewed the launch abort system for the Orion spacecraft at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Speaking to the group is Scott Wilson, manager of Production Operations for the Orion Program. The group also toured the Launch Control Center and Vehicle Assembly Building, legacy facilities that are being upgraded by the Ground Systems Development and Operations Program at Kennedy to prepare for processing and launch of NASA's Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft. NASA is developing the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft to provide an entirely new capability for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit, with the flexibility to launch spacecraft for crew and cargo missions, including to an asteroid and Mars. Orion’s first unpiloted test flight is scheduled to launch later this year atop a Delta IV rocket. A second uncrewed flight test is scheduled for fiscal year 2018 on the Space Launch System rocket.

Orion’s first unpiloted test flight is scheduled to launch later this year atop a Delta IV rocket. A second uncrewed flight test is scheduled for fiscal year 2018 on the Space Launch System rocket.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Jason Townsend, NASA's deputy social media manager, addresses the audience of a NASA Social held at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. This NASA Social brought together mission scientists and engineers with an audience of 70 students, educators, social media managers, bloggers, photographers and videographers who were selected from a pool of 325 applicants from 45 countries to participate in launch activities and communicate their experience with social media followers. The SMAP mission is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg on Jan. 29. To learn more about SMAP, visit http://www.nasa.gov/smap. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
ISS041-E-011536 (16 Sept. 2014) --- This is the eye of Hurricane Edouard in the Atlantic Ocean, as photographed by one of the Expedition 41 crew members who utilized a 200mm focal length from a position onboard the International Space Station. The crew members photographed and distributed a series of images of the storm via station-to-ground downlinks and via social media. Though having been upgraded from a tropical storm to a Category 2 hurricane, the Atlantic-borne Edouard thus far has avoided land interests as it reached maximum sustained winds of 105 miles per hour, churning in ocean waters several hundred miles southeast of Bermuda. This photo was taken at 13:52:40 GMT on Sept. 16, 2014.

The Lockheed Viking S-3B aircraft is being pulled out of the hangar at Glenn Research Center in preparation for its departure and retirement from service. This former NAVY aircraft was the last such aircraft still flying. It has gone to a museum on the west coast. After leaving service with the NAVY, it came to GRC to be used in aircraft icing experiments. The swept wings made it suitable for such research as opposed to the straight wings on GRG’s other icing research aircraft, the De Havilland Twin Otter.
