2009 ASTRONAUT CANDIDATES TOUR OF GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER

VANDENBERG AFB, CALIF. - A worker in the spacecraft processing facility on North Vandenberg Air Force Base checks the Gravity Probe B experiment during prelaunch testing. The Gravity Probe B will launch a payload of four gyroscopes into low-Earth polar orbit to test two extraordinary predictions of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity: the geodetic effect (how space and time are warped by the presence of the Earth) and frame dragging (how Earth’s rotation drags space and time around with it). Once in orbit, for 18 months each gyroscope’s spin axis will be monitored as it travels through local spacetime, observing and measuring these effects. The experiment was developed by Stanford University, Lockheed Martin and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center. The targeted launch date is Dec. 6, 2003.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Workers watch as the space shuttle Discovery makes the slow journey back from Pad 39A into the Vehicle Assembly Building. After the shuttle is demated, the orbiter will be returned to the Orbiter Processing Facility for repairs to hinges on an orbiter umbilical door. STS-39 is still set to fly this year.
