KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The newly arrived S5 truss segment for the International Space Station passes near the Vehicle Assembly Building on its trek to the Space Station Processing Facility. There it will be fit checked for a Photo-Voltaic Radiator Grapple Fixture. It will also undergo a fit check to a truss simulator to ensure that it will fit properly with the S4 and S6 truss segments. S5 is scheduled for launch in October 2003 on mission STS-118. It will be the tenth truss assembled in an 11-truss structure. KSC-02pd0290

Air Force civil engineers and civilian contractors attach a portable shelter to a crane at Royal Air Force Fairford, England. The population of the English base has expanded three fold in the last two months due to the influx of people in support of NATO Operation Allied Force. The portable shelters will be used to augment existing dormitories

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – A worker steadies the lid of the transportation trailer containing the fairing for NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive mission, or SMAP, in the Building 836 high bay on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The fairing will protect the SMAP spacecraft from the heat and aerodynamic pressure generated during its ascent to orbit aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket from Space Launch Complex 2. 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 will also 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.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The JEM Pressurized Module is seen in the hold of the ship that carried it from Japan. The National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) built the laboratory at the Tsukuba Space Center near Tokyo. The Pressurized Module is the first element of the JEM, Japan’s primary contribution to the space station, to be delivered to KSC. It will enhance the unique research capabilities of the orbiting complex by providing an additional shirt-sleeve environment for astronauts to conduct science experiments. The JEM also includes two logistics modules, an exposed pallet for space environment experiments and a robotic manipulator system that are still under construction in Japan. The various JEM components will be assembled in space over the course of three space shuttle missions.
