KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- More than a dozen photographers line up to photograph the Genesis-Delta launch vehicle after rollback of the Mobile Service Tower (right) on Launch Complex 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Genesis launch is scheduled for Aug. 1, 2001, from CCAFS.; however, a gray overcast sky forecasts a questionable launch effort due to weather conditions. Genesis will be on a robotic NASA space mission to collect just 10 to 20 micrograms -- or the weight of a few grains of salt -- of solar wind, invisible charged particles that flow outward from the Sun -- and return them to Earth. This treasured smidgen of the Sun will be preserved in a special laboratory for study by scientists over the next century in search of answers to fundamental questions about the exact composition of our star and the birth of our solar system

The preliminary design for the Space Experiment Research and Processing Laboratory (SERPL) at Kennedy Space Center is shown in this artist's rendition. The SERPL is a planned 100,000-square-foot laboratory that will provide expanded and upgraded facilities for hosting International Space Station experiment processing. In addition, it will provide better support for other biological and life sciences payload processing at KSC. It will serve as a magnet facility for a planned 400-acre Space Station Commerce Park

Crowds start to gather at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) in preparation for the landing of the space shuttle Discovery, Wednesday, March 9, 2011, at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. This was Discovery's final flight. Discovery flew 39 missions, spent 365 days in space, orbited Earth 5,830 times and traveled 148,221,675 miles.

Ready to rollThe five student journalists and two faculty members are ready for a day in the field.NASA/GSFC/Andrea JonesIn June, five student journalists from Stony Brook Universitys Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science packed their hiking boots and hydration packs and joined a NASA-funded science team for 10 days on the lava fields of Kilauea, an active Hawaiian volcano. Kilaueas lava fields are an ideal place to test equipment designed for use on Earths moon or Mars, because volcanic activity shaped so much of those terrains. The trip was part of an interdisciplinary program called RIS4E - short for Remote, In Situ, and Synchrotron Studies for Science and Exploration - which is designed to prepare for future exploration of the moon, near-Earth asteroids and the moons of Mars.

The Artemis flag is removed from NASA News Center property at the agencys Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 6, 2023, following the successful Artemis I mission. At left is former Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) Senior Technical Integration Manager Phil Weber, joined by former EGS Manager Mike Bolger. Both men served in their respective roles during Artemis I, retiring at the end of 2022. NASAs Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft lifted off from Kennedys Launch Complex 39B on Nov. 16, 2022. Orion splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 11 and arrived back at Kennedy on Dec. 30. Artemis I sets the stage for the next mission of SLS and Orion to fly crew around the Moon on Artemis II.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Participants watch NASA's Lunabotics Mining Competition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. The competition challenges university students to build machines that can collect soil such as the material found on the moon. Working inside the Caterpillar LunArena, the robotic craft dig soil that simulates lunar material. The event is judged by a machine's abilities to collect the soil, its design and operation, size, dust tolerance and its level of autonomy.

Signs on the side of the launch tower at Launch Complex 17, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, show the nature of the impending launch. A worker on the side watches the umbilical connections to the Boeing Delta II rocket that is carrying the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Liftoff is scheduled for 11:02 a.m. EDT from Launch Complex 17-A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. After an approximate 7-month journey, Mars Odyssey will orbit the planet Mars. The spacecraft, built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will map the Martian surface looking for geological features that could indicate the presence of water, now or in the past. Science gathered by three science instruments on board will be key to future missions to Mars, including orbital reconnaissance, lander and human missions
