Engineers are making progress repairing the area where a liquid hydrogen leak was detected during the Artemis I launch attempt Sept. 3, and NASA is preserving options for the next launch opportunity as early as Friday, Sept. 23.
Here, NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is seen at Launch Pad 39B Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida as teams work to replace the seal on an interface, called the quick disconnect, between the liquid hydrogen fuel feed line on the mobile launcher and the rocket.

SpaceX launched another batch of 60 Starlink satellites at 4:28 a.m. EDT with the sixth flight of booster B1060
The Falcon 9 Crew Dragon spacecraft "Endurance" is being readied for the launch of Crew-3 now set for 3 November 2021 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
It is the first spaceflight for ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer, who will be the 600th human to fly to space.
On Station, Matthias will become a long-duration crew member, spending around six months living and working in orbit. During this time, he will support more than 35 European experiments and numerous international experiments on board.

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
Billows of smoke and steam infused with the fiery light from space shuttle Endeavour's launch on the STS-127 mission fill NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A. Endeavour lifted off on the mission's sixth launch attempt, on July 15, 2009 at 6:03 p.m. EDT.

Full Description:The Space Shuttle Columbia on Pad 39A during the picture-perfect ascent of sister ship Discovery after lift off of STS-31. This was the first time since January 1986 that there was a Shuttle on each pad, which are separated by 1.6 miles. Discovery, carrying a five-member crew and the Hubble Space Telescope, lifted off at 8:34 a.m. EDT, April 24. Columbia, with its Astro-1 observatory, was scheduled for launch in May.

“The Apollo Command Module for the uprated Saturn I 204 flight has been transferred from the Pyrotechnic Installation Building at the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island to the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building, following initial receiving and inspection checks. It is currently undergoing further checkout tests in the High Bay area of the MSO Building.”

Space shuttle Endeavour is balanced and secured atop NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, or SCA, at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The SCA, a modified 747 jetliner, will fly Endeavour to Los Angeles where it will be placed on public display at the California Science Center. This is the final ferry flight scheduled in the Space Shuttle Program era. For more information on the shuttles' transition and retirement, visit www.nasa.gov/transition.

The Space Shuttle Atlantis flew 33 missions into space, between 1985 and 2011. At the Visitor Complex at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. I visited this place on May 9, 2016.
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket carrying 24 satellites as part of the Department of Defense's Space Test Program-2 (STP-2) mission is seen illuminated by lights at Launch Complex 39A, Monday, June 24, 2019 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Four NASA technology and science payloads which will study non-toxic spacecraft fuel, deep space navigation, "bubbles" in the electrically-charged layers of Earth's upper atmosphere, and radiation protection for satellites are among the two dozen satellites that will be launched. The three hour launch window opens at 11:30pm EDT on June 24. Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)

NASA and Boeing workers move solar arrays for the International Space Station to flight support equipment in the high bay of the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 2, 2021. The 63- by- 20-foot solar arrays will launch to the International Space Station later this year. They are the first two of six new solar arrays that in total will produce more than 120 kilowatts of electricity from the Sun’s energy, enough to power more than 40 average U.S. homes. Combined with the eight original, larger arrays, this advanced hardware will provide 215 kilowatts of energy, a 20 to 30 percent increase in power, helping maximize the space station’s capabilities for years to come. The arrays will produce electricity to sustain the station’s systems and equipment, plus augment the electricity available to continue a wide variety of public and private experiments and research in the microgravity environment of low-Earth orbit.

The International Space Station Processing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the hatch has been sealed and closed on an Orbital ATK Cygnus spacecraft. The fourth commercial resupply services mission will be the first flight of the enhanced variant of the Cygnus advanced maneuvering spacecraft, capable of delivering more than 7,700 pounds of essential crew supplies, equipment and scientific experiments to the station. Liftoff currently is targeted for Dec. 3, 2015 during a 30-minute window that opens at approximately 6 p.m. EST. The Cygnus will launch atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
