001 Lifting off at 11:30 a.m. EDT for a two-minute powered flight. She generated 2.6 million pounds of thrust to accelerate to nearly 3 g's, Mach 4.76 and almost 150,000 feet. 6 minutes elapsed between launch and splashdown. She overcame the “triboelectrification rule” which kept the range “red” until a few minutes before the range window was closed. Here she is steering to the right to prevent her 5000 degree F flame from damaging the pad superstructure. |

OV-104 (cn OV-104) Atlantis rolled out from the VAB to the Launch Complex 39A on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, at 6.38 a.m. EDT in a slow drive (0.8 miles per hour) on the top of the Crawler-transporter. The 3.4-mile (5.5 km) rollout was completed with the launch platform secured in place at about 1:31 p.m EDT. Here she approches the pad superstructure which sit on top of concrete hill. The laser leveling keeps "the stack" level on the mobile launch platform (MLP) which is deposited onto supports before the crawler backs away to safety. |

1-X World debut of the new NASA system. For the first time in more than a quarter century, a new vehicle is sitting at Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 327 foot rocket is gently carried up the slope to the launch pad. Note, the new 600 foot lightning rods errected to protect the new system. This flight test vehicle arrives at the pad atop of a giant crawler-transporter just after sunrise. It is indeed a new dawn in the US manned space program. |

OV-104 (cn OV-104) "Atlantis" was towed from her hangar in Orbiter Processing Facility-1 to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) on 6 October, 2009 at about 7 a.m. EDT. The move, known as rollover, was competed at 8:25 a.m. when Atlantis arrived in the VAB transfer aisle. Here she sits awaiting the completion of the detailed photography that is used as reference to make sure that no damage happens to her during takeoff. These reference photos are compared with those taken in Space to identify potentially catastrophic damage. |

1-X The very first Ares 1 rocket, standing as tall as a 33-story skyscraper and 40 stories on top of the Mobile Launch Platform and Crawler Transporter, slowly emerges from the massive Vehicle Assembly Building as it rolls out to Launch Pad 39B for the first test flight, Ares 1-X, October 20 2009. If the program goes forward, Ares is the manned replacement for the shuttle and could take astronauts back to the moon eventually. Third tallest rocket in history it is just shy of the record 363-foot Saturn V. |
