Inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a crane is used to lift the 175-ton crane up from the floor of the transfer aisle and return it to its original position, Level 16, above the transfer aisle. The crane's 45-year-old controls were upgraded to improve reliability, precision and safety. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program managed the upgrades and modifications to the crane so that it can support lifting needs for NASA's Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft.

Exploration of a former caen stone quarry, used as a bombing shelter during WWII, then to cultivate mushrooms and now totally abandoned.
Went back to my roots tonight. Shot this just for fun in a few minutes. Used the LED flash on my iPhone for the light painting.

After successfully arriving at Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39B, Exploration Ground Systems’ mobile launcher continues its journey atop crawler-transporter 2 up to the pad surface on June 28, 2019. The mobile launcher began its final solo trek to the pad at midnight on June 27, departing from NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building. The mobile launcher will remain at the pad over the summer, undergoing final testing and checkouts. Its next roll to the pad will be with the agency’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion in preparation for the launch of Artemis 1. Photo credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky

The Republic of Užupis was declared in 1997 and is a comparatively small area in Vilnius. Its bohemian and liberal atmosphere make it a nice hangout not only for artists. It has been compared to Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen and boasts its own president and coat of arms.
A display featuring the Ground Systems Development and Operations (GSDO) Program, and Orion and Space Launch System Programs, greet managers and engineers attending the GSDO critical design review kickoff meeting at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The critical design review is an important milestone event for GSDO as it will demonstrate that upgrades to necessary facilities and ground support equipment are on track and their design will be ready to support all system and processing requirements for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. The GSDO, SLS and Orion programs are progressing on parallel paths, making progress toward delivering their hardware in support of Exploration Mission-1 in 2018. Photo credit: Daniel Casper
During a "Powering Exploration Mission-1" ceremony in the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Nov. 16, 2018, Amy Marasia, Orion Crew Module assembly lead for Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), explains the next steps in processing Orion and the European Service Module (ESM). The event was held to mark a major milestone, the arrival of the European Service Module for Orion's Exploration Mission-1. The service module, built by the European Space Agency, will supply the main propulsion system and power to the Orion spacecraft during EM-1, a mission to the Moon. The ESM also will house air and water for astronauts on future missions. EM-1 will be an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration to destinations beyond Earth orbit. EM-1 will be the first integrated test of NASA's Space Launch System, Orion and the ground systems at Kennedy. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett

NASA Recovery Team members assist during Underway Recovery Test-7 (URT-7) inside the well deck of the USS John P. Murtha on Nov. 4, 2018. During URT-7, the team practices recovering a test version of the Orion capsule from the Pacific Ocean and towing it into the well deck of the ship. URT-7 is one in a series of tests conducted by the Exploration Ground Systems Recovery Team to verify and validate procedures and hardware that will be used to recover the Orion spacecraft after it splashes down in the Pacific Ocean following deep space exploration missions. Orion will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett

Built at the close of the 19th century, the Tennessee State Prison housed inmates until it was closed in 1989. From the time it began operations in 1898, the 800 cells of the prison had almost continually been over crowded. Throughout it's history numerous calamities have occurred at the penitentiary including riots, mass escapes, and fires. Conditions at the facility were forbidding and harsh due to overcrowding, sanitation problems and insufficient ventilation. In 1983 a federal court decision prohibited the Tennessee Department of Corrections from ever housing prisoners at the TN State Prison.
Since 1992 the facility has been left mostly abandoned. Several buildings on the massive compound are still in some use today, but the rest of the prison lies in disrepair and deterioration. The Tennessee State Prison is now a wonderland of decay. Not without danger, the buildings on the site are contaminated with black mold, asbestos, and lead based paint among other obvious perils. Yet, it is a completely fascinating location to explore. Numerous films and music videos have been shot on the grounds of the prison.
Nearly all of my exploration of this site on this visit was of the medical facility on the northern end of the compound. The medical facility one of the most restricted buildings at the prison, attributable in part to damage caused by a film crew from VH1 that were visiting to shoot the “Celebrity Paranormal Project.”
