KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - A solid rocket booster (SRB) for the Delta II Heavy rocket that will launch the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) arrives at Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Delta II Heavy features nine 46-inch-diameter, stretched SRBs. Consisting of three cryogenically cooled science instruments and an 0.85-meter telescope, SIRTF is one of NASA's largest infrared telescopes to be launched. SIRTF will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space. Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground.
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – The first stage of the United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket for NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive mission, or SMAP, hangs in the mobile service tower at Space Launch Complex 2 on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California during operations to erect it on the launch stand. SMAP will provide global measurements of soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state. These measurements will be used to enhance understanding of processes that link the water, energy and carbon cycles, and to extend the capabilities of weather and climate prediction models. SMAP data also will be used to quantify net carbon flux in boreal landscapes and to develop improved flood prediction and drought monitoring capabilities. Launch is scheduled for November 2014.

Summary
An FIM-92 Stinger missile is fired downrange from the Army’s new Interceptor launch platform at the Eglin Air Force Base range March 23. The 96th Test Wing hosted the Army’s Stinger Based Systems and Raytheon for two days for two days to demonstrate the new launch platform’s capabilities on Eglin’s ranges. The Interceptor can hold up to four missiles and can be mounted and launched from a variety of ground vehicles. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
