CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Tom Engler, deputy director of the Center Planning and Development Directorate at Kennedy Space Center, speaks to members of the media during an Open House event at Hangar N at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of PaR Systems' partnership with Kennedy. Under a 15-year lease agreement, PaR Systems is utilizing Hangar N and its unique nondestructive testing equipment. Behind Engler is the robotic inspection cell that contains an automated X-ray system once used to scan the aft skirts of the solid rocket boosters for the space shuttle. The partnership agreement was established by Kennedy's Center Planning and Development Directorate. The agreement is just one example of the types of partnerships that Kennedy is seeking to create a multi-user spaceport. Photo credit: NASA/Cory Huston KSC-2014-1939

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Three rows of upper level management consoles are all that remain in Firing Room 4 in the Launch Control Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The main floor consoles, cabling and wires below the floor and ceiling tiles above have been removed. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing efforts to create a new firing room based on a multi-user concept that will support NASA and commercial launch needs. The design of Firing Room 4 will incorporate five control room areas that are flexible to meet current and future NASA and commercial user requirements. The equipment and most of the consoles from Firing Room 4 were moved to Firing Room 2 for possible future reuse. Photo credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky KSC-2014-1970

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – With the help of a crane, a worker helps guide a parabolic telemetry antenna and tracker camera to the roof of the Launch Control Center, or LCC, in Launch Complex 39 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This antenna and camera system is the first of three that will be installed on the LCC roof for the Radio Frequency and Telemetry Station RFTS, which will be used to monitor radio frequency communications from a launch vehicle at Launch Pad 39A or B as well as provide radio frequency relay for a launch vehicle in the Vehicle Assembly Building. The RFTS replaces the shuttle-era communications and tracking labs at Kennedy. The modern RFTS checkout station is designed to primarily support NASA's Space Launch System, or SLS, and Orion spacecraft, but can support multi-user radio frequency tests as the space center transitions to support a variety of rockets and spacecraft.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In Hangar N at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, PaR Systems, Inc. operations engineer Jeff Elston, left, and Tony Corak, manager of NDT Services for PaR Systems, operate an 11-axis robotic X-ray system which takes images of hardware for evaluation. The activity is part of work performed by PaR Systems, Inc. under a partnership agreement with NASA. NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida recently established a partnership agreement with PaR Systems, Inc. of Shoreview, Minn., for operation of the Hangar N facility and its nondestructive testing and evaluation equipment. As the spaceport transitions from a historically government-only launch facility to a multi-user spaceport for both federal and commercial customers, partnerships between the space agency and other organizations will be a key element in that effort. Hangar N is located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station adjacent to Kennedy and houses a unique inventory of test and evaluation equipment and the capability for current and future mission spaceflight support.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Trey Carlson, the spaceport's master planner, describes how the Center Planning and Development Directorate CPD is working to help transform Kennedy into a multi-user spaceport through partnerships and resource planning. The event was first of what is planned to be quarterly meetings between NASA's industry partners and representatives of Kennedy's CPD, Safety and Mission Assurance, International Space Station Ground Processing, Chief Financial officer and Ground Processing and Ground Systems Development and Operations directorates. Center Planning and Development is the “front door” for partnerships with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Inside Firing Room 4 in the Launch Control Center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, construction workers are completing the inner walls that separate the four firing rooms and the window framing and doorways are nearing completion. Preparations are underway for installation of new ceiling tiles. Three rows of upper level management consoles remain and could be used as a fifth firing room. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing the efforts to create a new firing room based on a multi-user concept. The design of Firing Room 4 will incorporate five control room areas that are flexible to meet current and future NASA and commercial user requirements. The equipment and most of the consoles from Firing Room 4 were moved to Firing Room 2 for possible future reuse. Photo credit: NASA/Daniel Casper KSC-2014-2895

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, work is underway to transform the center into a multi-user spaceport. Launch Pad 39B, in the foreground, is being modified to support the agency's new Orion spacecraft which will lift off atop the Space Launch System rocket. Orion is designed to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before, serving as the exploration vehicle that will carry astronauts to deep space and sustain the crew during travel to destinations such as an asteroid or Mars. On April 14, NASA signed a property agreement with SpaceX of Hawthorne, Calif., for use and occupancy of Launch Pad 39A, in the distance, to serve as a platform to support SpaceX's future launch activities.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The 525-foot-tall Vehicle Assembly Building is the lynchpin of Launch Complex 39 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. As night falls, bringing with it expectations of the appearance of a “supermoon,” changes are underway to transition Kennedy to a multi-user spaceport. The scientific term for the supermoon phenomenon is "perigee moon." Full moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the moon's orbit. The moon follows an elliptical path around Earth with one side about 50,000 kilometers closer than the other. Full moons that occur on the perigee side of the moon's orbit seem extra big and bright.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Groundbreaking for the new Central Campus took place in the Industrial Area at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Nancy Bray, director of Kennedy's Center Operations Directorate, speaks to members of the media and guests during the ceremony. To her right is Kennedy Center Director Bob Cabana. From far left, are Steve Belflower, vice president of HuntonBrady Architects of Orlando, and Kirk Hazen, southeast district manager and vice president of Hensel Phelps, the construction contractor. Kennedy is transforming into a multi-user, 21st century spaceport supporting both commercial and government users and operations. Central Campus Phase I includes construction of a new Headquarters Building as one of the major components of the strategy. The new Headquarters Building will be a seven-story, 200,000-square-foot facility that will house about 500 NASA civil service and contractor employees. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-2014-4208
