The Panavia Tornado is a family of twin-engine combat aircraft, which was jointly developed by the United Kingdom, West Germany and Italy. There are three primary versions of the Tornado; the Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike) fighter-bomber, the suppression of enemy air defences Tornado ECR (Electronic Combat/Reconnaissance) and the Tornado ADV (Air Defence Variant) interceptor. It is one of the world's most sophisticated and capable interdiction and attack aircraft, with a large payload, long range and high survivability.
Developed and built by Panavia, a tri-national consortium consisting of British Aerospace (then the British Aircraft Corporation), MBB of West Germany, and Alenia Aeronautica of Italy, the Tornado first flew on August 14, 1974, and saw action with the RAF and AMI (Italian Air Force) in the Gulf War. International co-operation continued after its entry into service within the Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment, a tri-nation training and evaluation unit operating from RAF Cottesmore, England. Including all variants, 992 aircraft were built for the three partner nations and Saudi Arabia.

Minuteman II ERCS Aeroshell
ERCS flight equipment consisted of the communications payload atop the Minuteman II booster. ERCS payloads were stored and maintained at the local base weapon storage area (WSA) to support the appearance of identical actions with the Mark 11 reentry vehicle, which was also stored and maintained at the WSA. The payload was the same diameter as the Mark 11 to allow connection to the Minuteman booster. The overall shape of the payload was very similar to the Mark 11 but could be readily distinguished by a silver-colored metal point at the top of the aeroshell. The payload was approximately 8 feet high, 32.6 inches in diameter, and weighed 875 pounds.
EMERGENCY ROCKET COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (ERCS)
The Emergency Rocket Communications System (ERCS) provided a backup communication system to U.S. forces in the event of a nuclear attack. In operation, the ERCS system utilized the Minuteman launch facilities and a Minuteman booster to place a Communications Package into sub-orbital flight. It could then transmit a pre-recorded message to all subscribers within line-of-sight of its trajectory.
Classified SECRET and located only at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, ERCS locations were carefully hidden so as not to be targeted by adversaries. When not installed at the Launch Facility, the ERCS payload was stored with Minuteman warheads to fully disguise their locations.
The U.S. Air Force terminated the ERCS mission in September 1991 with the removal of the Minuteman II missile from the nuclear mission.

Aerobee was the most successful sounding rocket series of its type. It lasted from the late 1940s through the 1980s. The concept emerged from the needs of upper atmosphere research groups in military laboratories for an inexpensive, reliable vehicle that could cary moderate payloads to the brink of space. Aerobee ("Aero" from Aerojet Corporation and “bee" from the Applied Physics Laboratory's Project Bumblebee, the original contracting agency), benefited from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's experience during World War II developing the WAC Corporal. The first Aerobees in the late 1940s were fired from White Sands, New Mexico, and could carry payloads of about 68 kilograms (150 pounds) up to 105 kilometers (65 miles) at a cost of $100 per pound.
Aerobees were continually improved over the years with larger motors and boosters. The Army, Navy, and Air Force used Aerobees, as did a few university-based groups prior to Sputnik. After Sputnik, NASA supported Aerobee flights by making them accessible to a wider range of researchers. Aerobees were abandoned only when NASA reoriented is suborbital program to align all activities with the Space Shuttle.

The Space Shuttle orbiter is the spaceplane component of the Space Shuttle, a partially reusable orbital spacecraft system that was part of the discontinued Space Shuttle program. Operated from 1977 to 2011 by NASA, the U.S. space agency, this vehicle could carry astronauts and payloads into low Earth orbit, perform in-space operations, then re-enter the atmosphere and land as a glider, returning its crew and any on-board payload to the Earth.
Six orbiters were built for flight: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. All were built in Palmdale, California, by the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based Rockwell International company. The first orbiter, Enterprise, made its maiden flight in 1977. An unpowered glider, it was carried by a modified Boeing 747 airliner called the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and released for a series of atmospheric test flights and landings. Enterprise was partially disassembled and retired after completion of critical testing. The remaining orbiters were fully operational spacecraft, and were launched vertically as part of the Space Shuttle stack.
Columbia was the first space-worthy orbiter; it made its inaugural flight in 1981. Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis followed in 1983, 1984, and 1985 respectively. In 1986, Challenger was destroyed in an accident shortly after its 10th launch. Endeavour was built as Challenger's successor, and was first launched in 1992. In 2003, Columbia was destroyed during re-entry, leaving just three remaining orbiters. Discovery completed its final flight on March 9, 2011, and Endeavour completed its final flight on June 1, 2011. Atlantis completed the final Shuttle flight, STS-135, on July 21, 2011.
In addition to their crews and payloads, the reusable orbiter carried most of the Space Shuttle System's liquid-propellant rocket system, but both the liquid hydrogen fuel and the liquid oxygen oxidizer for its three main rocket engines were fed from an external cryogenic propellant tank. Additionally, two reusable solid rocket boosters (SRBs) provided additional thrust for approximately the first two minutes of launch. The orbiters themselves did carry hypergolic propellants for their Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters and Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) engines.

In no way am I comparing myself to Cartier-Bresson, but I enjoyed this quote and it personifies exactly why I love snapping shots of abandoned places.
"There was plenty of glitz in America in the sixties and seventies, yes and in the forties, the era of these pictures, but clearly Cartier-Bresson was trying to get behind it to the substance of American society. And since his is fundamentally a tragic vision he reacted most feelingly to what in America he saw as related to its decay, its pain. The very horizon is often oppressive, jagged with junked cars, the detritus of consumer culture, which after all is a culture of planned waste, engineered obsolescence. Whatever lasts is boring, what demands its own replacement energizes our imaginations."

Workers in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF) stand around the upper experiment module and base of the Cassini orbiter during prelaunch processing, testing and integration in that facility. The Cassini orbiter and Huygens probe being processed at KSC are the two primary components of the Cassini spacecraft, which will be launched on a Titan IVB/Centaur expendable launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral Air Station. Cassini will explore Saturn, its rings and moons for four years. The Huygens probe, designed and developed for the European Space Agency (ESA), will be deployed from the orbiter to study the clouds, atmosphere and surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The orbiter was designed and assembled at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. Following postflight inspections, integration of the 12 science instruments not already installed on the orbiter will be completed. Then, the parabolic high-gain antenna and the propulsion module will be mated to the orbiter, followed by the Huygens probe, which will complete spacecraft integration. The Cassini mission is targeted for an Oct. 6 launch to begin its 6.7-year journey to the Saturnian system. Arrival at the planet is expected to occur around July 1, 2004.
