KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The fairing halves for the Lockheed Martin Atlas V rocket are driven to the Payload Hazardous Service Facility airlock. The Atlas V is the launch vehicle for the New Horizons spacecraft. The fairing will encapsulate the spacecraft to protect it during launch and flight through the atmosphere. Once out of the atmosphere, the fairing is jettisoned. New Horizons is designed to make the first reconnaissance of Pluto and Charon - a "double planet" and the last planet in our solar system to be visited by spacecraft. The mission will then visit one or more objects in the Kuiper Belt region beyond Neptune. New Horizons is scheduled to launch in January 2006, swing past Jupiter for a gravity boost and scientific studies in February or March 2007, and reach Pluto and its moon, Charon, in July 2015.

Summary
A C-17 Globemaster III fuselage began its journey during the early hours from the 502nd Trainer Development Squadron through Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph’s west gate June 23, 2015. Since its arrival via flatbed truck in 2011, the fuselage was transformed into the Air Force’s first fully functioning aeromedical evacuation trainer. The C-17 will be used to train more than 1,300 flight nurses, aeromedical technicians, critical care physicians, intensive care nurses, respiratory nurses and flight surgeons annually at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The fuselage is the last piece to be delivered, and its trek will take about 10 days and then reassembly begins. (U.S. Air Force photo by Johnny Saldivar/released)
