KSC-2013-2823 (06/19/2013) --- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA Kennedy Space Center Lead Engineer David Bush works on a prototype of a Cryogenic Refuge Alternative Supply System, or CryoRASS, in the Operations and Checkout Building. CryoRASS and a small liquid-air filled backpack called CryoBA, short for Cryogenic Breathing Apparatus, are being developed by a NASA Kennedy Space Center engineering team in collaboration with The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to provide miners with twice the amount of breathable and cooler air than traditional compressed systems. Read more...

KSC-2013-2822 (06/19/2013) --- TITUSVILLE, Fla. - Representatives from NASA Kennedy Space Center, BCS Life Support, LabTech and URS demo a Cryogenic Refuge Alternative Supply System, or CryoRASS, and a smaller liquid-air filled backpack called CryoBA, short for Cryogenic Breathing Apparatus, in Titusville, Fla. The two systems are being developed by a Kennedy engineering team in collaboration with The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to provide miners with twice the amount of breathable and cooler air than traditional compressed systems. The technology also could be used for commercial applications, such as fire and military rescue operations, as well as NASA's future human spaceflight missions. Photo credit: NASA/Daniel Casper

KSC-2013-2821 (06/18/2013) --- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Technicians in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, are removing cover plates in preparation for replacing the roller bearing assemblies on crawler-transporter 2, or CT-2. The modifications are designed to ensure CT-2's ability to transport launch vehicles currently in development, such as the agency's Space Launch System which will send the Orion spacecraft carrying humans to new destinations in the solar system. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program office at Kennedy is overseeing the upgrades to CT-2 so that it can carry NASA’s Space Launch System heavy-lift rocket and new Orion spacecraft to the launch pad. Read more...

KSC-2013-2815 (06/17/2013) --- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- An ominous storm cloud hovers over Launch Complex 39 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The massive, 525-foot-tall facility at left is the Vehicle Assembly Building. Florida summers are known for their dynamic weather patterns with the start of the Atlantic hurricane season and the onset of afternoon thunderstorms that bring with them heavy rain, frequent lightning and occasionally even tornadoes.

KSC-2013-2768 (06/17/2013) --- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Inside the Space Life Sciences Laboratory near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Dr. David J. Smith, a microbiologist in the Surface Systems Office, prepares microbes that will be deployed for the Microorganisms in the Stratosphere, or MIST, mission. High altitudes exert a unique combination of stresses on microbes, outside the range of conditions normally encountered on the Earth's surface. Results from MIST may improve our understanding of the physical limits and habitable environments for life. Read more...

KSC-2013-2813 (06/15/2013) --- MOJAVE DESERT, Calif. – In the Mojave Desert in California, the Garvey Spacecraft Corporation's Prospector P-18D rocket lifts off at 10:52 a.m. PDT carrying the RUBICS-1 payload on a high-altitude, suborbital flight. The rocket carried four satellites made from four-inch cube sections. The rocket reached a peak altitude of about 9,000 feet, however the parachute deployed prematurely and the vehicle continued on its trajectory, coasting and tumbling to a hard landing on its side. In spite of the rough ride, all four CubeSats were recovered. Read more...
