KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Stephen Ezell, meteorological systems operator at Weather Station A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, releases a weather balloon.   Such balloons are released twice a day.  The package at the bottom is a radio sonde that collects temperature and humidity data as the balloon rises.  The data is released to agencies nationwide, including the 45th Space Wing, which uses the data for its daily weather reports.  The weather station provides additional data to NASA for launches -- releasing 12 balloons in eight hours prior to liftoff - and landings - releasing 5 balloons in six and a half hours before expected touchdown.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- On Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a technician brings tools into an environmental enclosure on space shuttle Discovery's external fuel tank. The enclosure will provide protectiong from wind, temperature and humidity changes while foam is re-applied and cured on the tank. The foam cracked during initial loading operations for Discovery’s launch attempt on Nov. 5. The cracks are on one of the 108 stringers, which are the composite aluminum ribs located vertically on the intertank area.       Discovery's next launch attempt is no earlier than Nov. 30 at 4:02 a.m. EST. For more information on STS-133, visit www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts133/.

VANDENBERG AFB, CALIF. -- The Aqua-EOS satellite is lifted to vertical in the Spaceport Systems International (SSI) payload processing facility on South Vandenberg AFB.  Aqua will provide a six year  chronology of the planet and its processes. Comprehensive measurements  taken by its onboard instruments will allow scientists to assess long-term  change, identify its human and natural causes and advance the development of models for long-term forecasting. The Focus for the Aqua Project is the multi-disciplinary study of the Earth's  Interrelated Processes (atmosphere, oceans, and land surface) and their  relationship to earth system changes. The global change research  emphasized with the Aqua instrument data sets include: atmospheric  temperature and humidity profiles, clouds, precipitation and radiative  balance; terrestrial snow and sea ice; sea surface temperature and ocean  productivity; soil moisture; and the improvement of numerical weather  prediction.  Aqua-EOS is scheduled for launch aboard a Delta II 7920-10L vehicle on April 18, 2002 KSC-02pd0331

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A worker prepares a weather balloon for release at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station weather station. The balloon is equipped with a radiosonde, an instrument that transmits measurements on atmospheric pressure, humidity, temperature and winds as it ascends. The data will be used to determine if conditions are acceptable for the launch of NASA's THEMIS mission. THEMIS, an acronym for Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms, consists of five identical probes that will track violent, colorful eruptions near the North Pole.  This will be the largest number of scientific satellites NASA has ever launched into orbit aboard a single rocket.  The THEMIS mission aims to unravel the mystery behind auroral substorms, an avalanche of magnetic energy powered by the solar wind that intensifies the northern and southern lights.  The mission will investigate what causes auroras in the Earth’s atmosphere to dramatically change from slowly shimmering waves of light to wildly shifting streaks of bright color. Launch is planned from Pad 17-B in a window that extends from 6:01 to 6:19 p.m. EST.  Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-07pd0426

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -   At the Cape Canaveral forecast facility in Florida, a  worker carries a Rawinsonde weather balloon outside for release.  Rawinsonde balloons are GPS-tracked and can collect such data as atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed and direction up to 100,000 feet. The release was planned as part of a media tour prior to the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-121 July 1.  At the facility, which is operated by the U.S. Air Force 45th Weather Squadron, media saw the tools used by the weather team to create the forecast for launch day. They received a briefing on how the launch weather forecast is developed by Shuttle Weather Officer Kathy Winters and met the forecasters for the space shuttle and the expendable launch vehicles. Also participating were members of the Applied Meteorology Unit who provide special expertise to the forecasters by analyzing and interpreting unusual or inconsistent weather data. The media were able to see the release of the Rawinsonde weather balloon carrying instruments aloft to be used as part of developing the forecast.  Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton KSC-06pd1281

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A radiosonde, an instrument that transmits measurements on atmospheric pressure, humidity, temperature and winds, is prepared for use on a weather balloon at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station weather station. The data it returns will be used to determine if conditions are acceptable for the launch of NASA's THEMIS mission. THEMIS, an acronym for Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms, consists of five identical probes that will track violent, colorful eruptions near the North Pole.  This will be the largest number of scientific satellites NASA has ever launched into orbit aboard a single rocket.  The THEMIS mission aims to unravel the mystery behind auroral substorms, an avalanche of magnetic energy powered by the solar wind that intensifies the northern and southern lights.  The mission will investigate what causes auroras in the Earth’s atmosphere to dramatically change from slowly shimmering waves of light to wildly shifting streaks of bright color. Launch is planned from Pad 17-B in a window that extends from 6:01 to 6:19 p.m. EST.  Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton KSC-07pd0422

The Focus for the Aqua Project is the multi-disciplinary study of the Earth's  Interrelated Processes (atmosphere, oceans, and land surface) and their  relationship to earth system changes. The global change research  emphasized with the Aqua instrument data sets include: atmospheric  temperature and humidity profiles, clouds, precipitation and radiative  balance; terrestrial snow and sea ice; sea surface temperature and ocean  productivity; soil moisture; and the improvement of numerical weather  prediction.  Aqua-EOS is scheduled for launch aboard a Delta II 7920-10L vehicle on April 18, 2002 KSC-02pd0328

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Stephen Ezell, meteorological systems operator at Weather Station A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, gets ready to release a weather balloon.   Such balloons are released twice a day.  The package in Ezell's hand is a radio sonde that collects temperature and humidity data as the balloon rises.  The data is released to agencies nationwide, including the 45th Space Wing, which uses the data for its daily weather reports.  The weather station provides additional data to NASA for launches -- releasing 12 balloons in eight hours prior to liftoff - and landings - releasing 5 balloons in six and a half hours before expected touchdown.
