CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians and engineers monitor the progress as the Project Morpheus prototype lander is attached to a tether and raised from a transportable launch platform positioned at the north end of the Shuttle Landing Facility. The lander will undergo a tethered test that includes lifting it 20 feet by crane, ascending another 10 feet, maneuvering backwards 10 feet, and then flying forward and descending to its original position, landing at the end of the tether. Testing of the prototype lander was performed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston in preparation for tethered and free flight testing at Kennedy.    The landing facility will provide the lander with the kind of field necessary for realistic testing, complete with rocks, craters and hazards to avoid. Morpheus utilizes an autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology, or ALHAT, payload that will allow it to navigate to clear landing sites amidst rocks, craters and other hazards during its descent. Project Morpheus is being managed under the Advanced Exploration Systems, or AES, Division in NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. The efforts in AES pioneer new approaches for rapidly developing prototype systems, demonstrating key capabilities and validating operational concepts for future human missions beyond Earth orbit.

Summary

Military vehicles and equipment belonging to the 1158th Transportation Company and the 107th Surface Maintenance Company of the Wisconsin National Guard are loaded on railcars July 10, 2019, at Fort McCoy, Wis. The equipment was being shipped to Fort Hood, Texas, to be a part of a large exercise later in the year. The rail loading and related work was completed by 1158th and 107th Soldiers, 829th Engineer Company Soldiers, and employees with the Fort McCoy Logistics Readiness Center Transportation Division.
