CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Ares I-X forward assembly comprising the frustum, forward skirt extension and forward skirt , at left, moves toward the Vehicle Assembly Building, in the background. In the VAB's High Bay 4, the forward assembly will undergo processing and stacking to the upper stage. Ares I-X is the flight test for the Ares I which will provide NASA an early opportunity to test and prove hardware, facilities and ground operations associated with Ares I, which is part of the Constellation Program to return men to the moon and beyond. Launch of the Ares I-X flight test is targeted for August 2009. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-2009-3675

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At the NASA Press Site at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a tent is erected in the shadow of the 525-foot-tall Vehicle Assembly Building for a unique event, a Tweetup, being held to share the excitement of a space shuttle launch with a new audience. The two-day event will provide NASA Twitter followers the opportunity to take a tour of Kennedy, view a shuttle launch and speak with shuttle technicians, engineers, astronauts and managers, as well as the staff behind the tweets on @NASA. Launch of shuttle Atlantis on the STS-129 mission to the International Space Station is scheduled for 2:28 p.m. EST on Nov. 16.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- An airship from the British Broadcasting Corp., or BBC, flies over the processing facilities in Launch Complex 39 toward the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A team of scientists from the BBC's television project "Cloud Lab" are conducting a number of experiments aboard the airship as it flies across the U.S., exploring all aspects of the Earth's atmosphere. One of the experiments is NASA's Microorganisms in the Stratosphere, or MIST, which is designed to measure the microbial survival and cellular responses to exposure in the upper atmosphere.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Elevated platforms are seen hanging in front of the NASA Logo on the side of Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building. Also in view on the east side of the building are platforms on the facility's large vertical doors. Workers, suspended on the platforms from the top of the 525-foot-high VAB, use rollers and brushes to do the painting. The flag and logo were last painted in 1998, honoring NASA's 40th anniversary. The flag spans an area 209 feet by 110 feet, or about 23, 437 square feet. Each stripe is 9 feet wide and each star is 6 feet in diameter. The logo, also known as the "meatball," measures 110 feet by 132 feet, or about 12,300 square feet. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton KSC-07pd0006
