CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne aerospace technician Ken Burley inspects the inner workings of space shuttle main engine, or SSME, #2062 in the Space Shuttle Main Engine Processing Facility. This is the last SSME scheduled to be built at Kennedy before the end of the Space Shuttle Program. Three main engines are clustered at the aft end of the shuttle and have a combined thrust of more than 1.2 million pounds. Each engine utilizes liquid hydrogen for fuel and liquid oxygen as oxidizer and operates during the entire eight-and-a-half minute ride to orbit. Post-flight inspections and maintenance of each engine also are conducted in the SSME Processing Facility between shuttle missions.

Orion Landing and Recovery team member Pete Ruett, with Jacobs, practices using a winch to prepare for Underway Recovery Test 7 (URT-7) on Sept. 5, 2018, in the heavy equipment yard at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Ruett is a handling and access engineer. During URT-7, the recovery team, including Exploration Ground Systems and the U.S. Navy, will practice recovering a test version of the Orion crew module in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California, and guiding it into the well deck of a ship. Over several days, the team will demonstrate and evaluate new recovery processes, procedures, hardware and personnel in open waters. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to deep space destinations, including the Moon and on to Mars. Orion will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Inside Orbiter Processing Facility 2 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, a United Space Alliance technician holds one of the Boeing Replacement Insulation 18, or BRI-18, tile that will be installed on space shuttle Endeavour during processing activities. BRI-18 is the strongest material used for thermal insulation on the orbiters and, when coated to produce toughened unipiece fibrous insulation, provides a tile with extremely high-impact resistance. It is replacing other tiles on areas of the vehicle where impact risk is high, such as the landing gear doors, the wing leading edge and the external tank doors. Endeavour will deliver a multi-purpose logistics module to the International Space Station on its STS-126 mission. Launch is targeted for Nov. 10.

Robert Nuss and Gary Dernus, lock mechanics with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, give a tour and explain the work they performed to replace the hydraulics system at the C.W. Bill Young Lock & Dam on the Allegheny River. The project took a better part of a year and more than 800 work hours to complete, performed mainly by Robert Nuss and Gary Dernus. The lock and dam first went into operation in late 1934, with some piping and fittings dating back to the locks original construction. The mechanics team replaced hundreds of feet of rusted and deteriorating piping with new or refurbished material that the Corps expects to last several decades.
