CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla., workers keep watch as the shipping container is lifted away from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, or GOES-O. The satellite will undergo final testing of the imaging system, instrumentation, communications and power systems. Developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, the GOES-O satellite is targeted to launch April 28 onboard a United Launch Alliance Delta IV expendable launch vehicle. Once in orbit, GOES-O will be designated GOES-14, and NASA will provide on-orbit checkout and then transfer operational responsibility to NOAA. GOES-O will be placed in on-orbit storage as a replacement for an older GOES satellite. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-2009-1953

Submarines!

Beginning in ancient times, humans sought to operate under the water. The legendary origins of the submarine stretch back to 332 BC with a tale about Alexander the Great being lowered into the sea in a glass barrel to study fish. The submarine concept was thereafter consigned to the backwaters of history for some 1,800 years. This collection presents various submarines: from small and simple to nuclear-powered underwater behemoths.
