An HTC-8670 Link-Belt crane loads a "quad-pack" canister for the MK-41 vertical launch system (VLS), aboard the US Navy (USN) Arleigh Burke class Guided Missile Destroyer USS McCAMPBELL (DDG 85). In the canister is an Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM). ESSM is an international cooperative upgrade of the RIM 7 NATO Sea Sparrow Missile, providing increased battle space against high-speed, highly maneuverable anti-ship missiles. McCAMPBELL is the first ship to deploy with the ESSM

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 37, United Launch Alliance engineers and technicians prepare to lift the agency's Orion spacecraft for mounting atop its Delta IV Heavy rocket. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, including an asteroid and Mars. It will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. The first unpiloted flight test of Orion is scheduled to launch Dec. 4, 2014 atop a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket, and in 2018 on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, workers deliver a solid rocket motor to the Vertical Integration Facility at Launch Complex 41. It then will be lifted into position and attached to the United Launch Alliance Atlas V booster stage, already at the pad. NASA's Juno spacecraft is scheduled to launch aboard an Atlas V from Cape Canaveral, Fla. Aug. 5.The solar-powered spacecraft will orbit Jupiter's poles 33 times to find out more about the gas giant's origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere and investigate the existence of a solid planetary core.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The Boeing Delta II second stage is raised before lifting it up the launch tower on Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. It will complete the erection of the launch vehicle for NASA's Space Infrared Telescope Facility. 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. Consisting of an 0.85-meter telescope and three cryogenically cooled science instruments, SIRTF is one of NASA's largest infrared telescopes to be launched. KSC-03pd0744
