KSC-07PD-2865 (10/01/2007) --- KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, technicians begin raising the starboard arm of the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator, known as Dextre, for its move across the facility. The arm will be installed on the base. Dextre is a sophisticated dual-armed robot, which is part of Canada's contribution to the International Space Station (ISS). Along with Canadarm2, whose technical name is the Space Station Remote Manipulator System, and a moveable work platform called the Mobile Base System, these three elements form a robotic system called the Mobile Servicing System, or MSS. Read more...

KSC-05-S-00097 (04/20/2005) --- George Diller: And with us here now is Omar Baez, the NASA launch director for launch today. Omar, first of all, let's go to the bottom line. What did we see in the Pegasus data as far as the success of the launch today? Omar Baez: The Pegasus data and the launch success today has been incredible. The vehicle really performed as it should, as it always has, and a very successful mission for the Pegasus phase. And I wish the DART guys in their phase of it the same good luck. George Diller: The last nine minutes or so, or 13 minutes, were fairly busy and there seemed to be some issues being, being worked in the final minutes there that worked through fairly successfully. Read more...

KSC-05PD-2220 (04/19/2005) --- VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, FLA. - The Orbital Sciences L-1011 aircraft soars through the sky to launch the Orbital Sciences Pegasus XL launch vehicle and Demonstration of Autonomous Rendezvous Technology (DART) spacecraft attached to its underbelly. DART was designed and built for NASA by Orbital Sciences as an advanced flight demonstrator to locate and maneuver near an orbiting satellite. The DART spacecraft weighs about 800 pounds and is nearly 6 feet long and 3 feet in diameter. The Pegasus XL vehicle will launch DART into a circular polar orbit of approximately 475 miles. Read more...

KSC-05-S-00028 (01/18/2005) --- Nestled in the rolling hills of northern Alabama is NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. From the moon missions of yesterday to the Space Shuttle flights of today, Marshall is one of NASA's centers for vehicle propulsion development and space hardware design. The Marshall Space Flight Center was established on July 1, 1960 and developed the Redstone rocket, which boosted NASA’s first astronaut into suborbital flight in 1961. With the space race on and America's sights set on reaching the moon first, Marshall was charged with designing the vehicle to get us there. Read more...
