CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Steady progress is made to prepare equipment for construction of the launch platform for the Project Morpheus lander at the midfield of the Shuttle Landing Facility, or SLF, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Testing of the prototype lander has been ongoing at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston in preparation for its first free flight. The SLF will provide the lander with the kind of field necessary for realistic testing, complete with rocks, craters and hazards to avoid. Morpheus utilizes an autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology, or ALHAT, payload that will allow it to navigate to clear landing sites amidst rocks, craters and other hazards during its descent. Project Morpheus is one of 20 small projects comprising the Advanced Exploration Systems, or AES, program in NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. AES projects pioneer new approaches for rapidly developing prototype systems, demonstrating key capabilities and validating operational concepts for future human missions beyond Earth orbit.

B-24 Liberator Bomber and C-87 Liberator Express. Cross-section of the C-87 Liberator Express shows the transport as an adaptation of the B-24 Liberator bomber. In the Liberator Express, the fuselage is stripped, the nose is closed, turrets are eliminated and a large loading door installed. It has a top speed of over 300 miles per hour and a range of approximately 3,000 miles

Summary

A U.S. Navy propulsion shaft is secured for transportation to the Pacific theater in a C-5M Super Galaxy at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., June 9, 2017. As the largest aircraft in the U.S. Air Force’s inventory, the C-5M Super Galaxy serves as mobility air forces primary strategic airlift platform for transporting oversized and unconventional cargo.
