KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - An X-band (left) and a C-band radar antenna are prepared to observe the MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging) launch.  The antennas are on loan to KSC from the USNS Pathfinder, a U.S. Navy instrumentation ship.  They have been installed at  site north of Haulover Canal where the National Center for Atmospheric Research previously had a radar for thunderstorm research.  NASA is evaluating the pair of radars for their ability to observe possible debris coming from the Space Shuttle during launch, part of NASAs initiative to return the Space Shuttle to flight.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA.   On Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the Dawn spacecraft is lowered from the mobile service tower to the ground. Dawn is being returned to the Astrotech payload processing facility to await a new launch date.  The launch opportunity extends from Sept. 7 to Oct. 15. Dawn is the ninth mission in NASA's Discovery Program. The spacecraft will be the first to orbit two planetary bodies, asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres,  during a single mission. Vesta and Ceres lie in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is also NASA’s first purely scientific mission powered by three solar electric ion propulsion engines.   NASA/George Shelton

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - This view is NASA's C-band, Debris Radar antenna inside the radome at a site on North Merritt Island in Florida.  One of the largest of its kind in the world, the C-band radar provided critical support to pinpoint debris during the launch of space shuttle Atlantis on the STS-125 mission. The need for this radar was identified after the Columbia tragedy.  It worked together with smaller X-band radars placed on the solid rocket booster ship Liberty Star and the U.S. Army landing craft utility ship Brandy Station.  Together they provided extremely high resolution images of any debris that created by Atlantis during launch.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - On June 6, progress is made in the erection of a C-band radar antenna at a radar site on North Merritt Island, Fla. The 50-foot C-band radar will be used for long-term Shuttle missions to track the launches and observe possible debris coming from the Shuttle. In the background is an existing 30-foot C-band Pathfinder radar whose use was demonstrated on the Delta Messenger launch. It will be used on the upcoming two Return to Flight missions. The launch window for the first Return to Flight mission, STS-114, is July 13 to July 31.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, 40-foot-diameter dish antenna arrays are being constructed as part of the Antenna Test Bed Array for the Ka-Band Objects Observation and Monitoring, or Ka-BOOM system. The antennas will be part of the operations command center facility. The construction site is near the former Vertical Processing Facility, which has been demolished. The Ka-BOOM project is one of the final steps in developing the techniques to build a high power, high resolution radar system capable of becoming a Near Earth Object Early Warning System. While also capable of space communication and radio science experiments, developing radar applications is the primary focus of the arrays.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) weather station, seen here at the Shuttle Landing Facilitys midfield on NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, has a new neighbor. A climate-observing network that will drastically improve the nation's awareness of how weather impacts our lives has been established at the site. NASA, NOAA and the U.S. Air Force will work together on the U.S. Climate Reference Network, which will examine climate trends and change throughout the nation and its surrounding regions for the next 50 years. Instruments that are being provided include a solar radiation measuring device and an infrared surface temperature instrument. This gives Kennedy a unique opportunity to compare its sensor system with the NOAA site that is approximately 100 feet away.

The Arecibo Observatory is a radio telescope just over 1,000 feet (305 m) across, the largest single radio telescope. The main metal collecting dish sits fixed a hemispherical karst sinkhole. In addtion to being a radio telescope, the dish is also a powerful radar transmitter, and has been very useful in radar astronomy in our solar system. This transmitter is on a 900 ton platform known as 'the feed' hanging 500 feet (150 m) over the dish. The observatory is the primary location of the National

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Robert Lightfoot, NASA associate director, talks to members of the media at the Ka Band Objects Observation and Monitoring, or KaBOOM, testbed antenna array site during a tour of Kennedy facilities. At right is Kennedy Director Bob Cabana. The goal of KaBOOM is to prove technologies that will allow future systems to characterize near-Earth objects in terms of size, shape, rotation_tumble rate and to determine the trajectory of those objects. Radar studies can determine the trajectory 100,000 times more precisely than can optical methods. While also capable of space communication and radio science experiments, developing radar applications is the primary focus of the arrays. The 40-foot-diameter dish antenna arrays are at the site of the former Vertical Processing Facility, which has been demolished.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Satellite trucks are lined up alongside Runway 33 at NASA Kennedy Space Centers Shuttle Landing Facility to wait for the early morning landing of Space Shuttle Discovery, returning from the successful Return to Flight mission STS-114. The landing was eventually deferred to Edwards Air Force Base in California due to weather concerns. The landing occurred at 8 11 a.m. EDT, guided by Mission Commander Eileen Collins. Discovery spent two weeks in space on Return to Flight mission STS-114, where the crew demonstrated new methods to inspect and repair the Shuttle in orbit. The crew also delivered supplies, outfitted and performed maintenance on the International Space Station. A number of these tasks were conducted during three spacewalks.
