Salvatore Ciaquinta, Italian construction worker, continue work on the new dorms at Aviano AB, Italy. The Aviano 2000 Program (AV2K) is one of the most aggressive construction programs ever undertaken at a single military installation. Involving over 274 NATO/USAF projects estimated at a cost of $535 million, the magnitude of this program cannot be overstated. The AV2K program is one of the largest ever undertaken by the USAF and will transform the entire base structure. When completed, Aviano Air Base will become a modern 21st century operational air base capable of sustaining air combat and combat support in the Southern European Theater

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. --  At Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, technicians prepare the AIM spacecraft for fairing installation.  The fairing is a molded structure that fits around the spacecraft and forms an aerodynamically smooth nose cone, protecting the spacecraft during launch.  Launch will be from a Pegasus XL rocket, carried and released by Orbital Sciences L-1011 jet aircraft. AIM, which stands for Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere, is being prepared for integrated testing and a flight simulation.  The AIM spacecraft will fly three instruments designed to study polar mesospheric clouds located at the edge of space, 50 miles above the Earth's surface in the coldest part of the planet's atmosphere. The mission's primary goal is to explain why these clouds form and what has caused them to become brighter and more numerous and appear at lower latitudes in recent years. AIM's results will provide the basis for the study of long-term variability in the mesospheric climate and its relationship to global climate change. Launch is scheduled for April 25. KSC-07pd0965

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, technicians help guide the starboard arm of the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator, known as Dextre, into place for installation on the base.   Dextre is a sophisticated dual-armed robot, which is part of Canada's contribution to the International Space Station (ISS). Along with Canadarm2, whose technical name is the Space Station Remote Manipulator System, and a moveable work platform called the Mobile Base System, these three elements form a robotic system called the Mobile Servicing System, or MSS. The three components have been designed to work together or independently. Dextre is part of the payload scheduled on mission STS-123, targeted to launch Feb. 14.
