America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. Two American brothers proudly display their model of a photographic reconnaissance plane. They designed and constructed this small plane which takes photographs through a trap-door installed in the fuselage. Controlled by a time release, the trap door opens in mid-air and operates the shutter of a camera mounted in the plane. Model building has long been a popular hobby of American youth. In 1941 it was estimated that nearly three million boys were actively interested in model building. The National Aeronautics Association through its model divisions, the Academy of Model Aeronautics, has formed an Air Youth Division to bring a coordinated activity in aviation to American youngsters. Post war plans include an Inter-American Model contest to bring the young model builders of South American countries, the U.S. and Canada into friendly competition

US, British, and Saudi Arabian personnel discuss the off-load of a Russian AN-124 aircraft on the tarmac at Prince Sultan Air Base, Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. The aircraft was used to return the partially dissasembled US navy EP-3E aircraft that was forced to make an emergency landing on China's Hainan Island. Chinese officials have agreed to return the damaged Navy EP-3E plane they've held after the Navy surveillance plane collided in mid-air with a Chinese fighter and made an emergency landing on Hainan shortly after. A C-17 Globemaster III aircraft can be seen in the background

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Viewed from the ground level in high bay 1 of the VAB, the orbiter Endeavour seems to float in mid-air as it is lowered for mating with the external tank and solid rocket boosters behind and below it. Space Shuttle Endeavour is targeted for launch on mission STS-99 Jan. 13, 2000, at 1:11 p.m. EST. STS-99 is the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, an international project spearheaded by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency and NASA, with participation of the German Aerospace Center DLR. The SRTM consists of a specially modified radar system that will gather data for the most accurate and complete topographic map of the Earth's surface that has ever been assembled. SRTM will make use of radar interferometry, wherein two radar images are taken from slightly different locations. Differences between these images allow for the calculation of surface elevation, or change. The SRTM hardware will consist of one radar antenna in the shuttle payload bay and a second radar antenna attached to the end of a mast extended 60 meters (195 feet) out from the shuttle KSC-99pp1384

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, workers help guide the crane moving Genesis spacecraft above the upper stage of the Delta rocket. Genesis is 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) long and 6.6 feet (2 meters) wide, with a wingspan of solar array 26 feet (7.9 meters) tip to tip. Genesis will be on a robotic NASA space mission to catch a wisp of the raw material of the Sun and return it to Earth with a spectacular mid-air helicopter capture. The sample return capsule is 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) in diameter and 52 inches (1.31 meters) tall. The mission’s goal is to collect and return to Earth just 10 to 20 micrograms -- or the weight of a few grains of salt -- of solar wind, invisible charged particles that flow outward from the Sun. This treasured smidgen of the Sun will be preserved in a special laboratory for study by scientists over the next century in search of answers to fundamental questions about the exact composition of our star and the birth of our solar system. The Genesis launch is scheduled for 12:36 p.m. EDT on July 30 from Launch Complex 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station KSC-01pp1297

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - A fish-eye view shows Space Shuttle Discovery moments after liftoff from Launch Pad 39B on the historic Return to Flight mission STS-114.  At left is the Fixed Service Structure with the White Room appearing to be suspended in mid-air.  The White Room provides the astronauts access into the orbiter.  The liftoff occurred at 10:39 a.m. EDT.  On this mission to the International Space Station the crew will perform inspections on-orbit for the first time of all of the Reinforced Carbon-Carbon (RCC) panels on the leading edge of the wings and the Thermal Protection System tiles using the new Canadian-built Orbiter Boom Sensor System and the data from 176 impact and temperature sensors. Mission Specialists will also practice repair techniques on RCC and tile samples during a spacewalk in the payload bay.  During two additional spacewalks, the crew will install the External Stowage Platform-2, equipped with spare part assemblies, and a replacement Control Moment Gyroscope contained in the Lightweight Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure. The 12-day mission is expected to end with touchdown at the Shuttle Landing Facility on Aug. 7. KSC-05pp1772
