N-231 High Reynolds Number Channel II Facility  In this timeframe the test section was designed specifically to test two-dimensional airfoil models. It is equipped with 'through-the-wall' turntables that remotely position the airfoil, with flexible upper and lower walls that can be adjusted to minimize wall interference. Porous side-wall panels provide boundary-layer removal. ARC-1980-AC80-0512-3

The northern hemisphere is displayed in this global view of the surface of Venus.  The north pole is at the center of the image; with 0 degrees, 90 degrees , 180 degrees, 270 degrees east longitudes at 6, 3, 12 and 9 0'clock positions, repectively, of an imagery clock face.  Magellan synthetic aperture radar mosaics from the first cycle of Magelolan mapping are mapped onto a computer-simulated globe to create this image.  Data gaps are filled with Pioneere-Venus Orbiter data, or a constant mid-range value.  Simulated color is used to enhance small-scale structure.  The simulated hues are based on color images recorded by the Soviet Venera 13 & 14 spacecraft. ARC-1991-AC91-3009

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- United Space Alliance technician Don Pataky repairs hail-inflicted damage in the foam insulation on the external tank of Space Shuttle Discovery. The Shuttle was rolled back from Pad 39B to the Vehicle Assemby Building for repairs because access to all of the damaged areas was not possible at the pad. The work is expected to take two to three days, allowing Discovery to roll back to the pad late this week for launch of mission STS-96, the 94th launch in the Space Shuttle Program. Liftoff will occur no earlier than May 27. STS-96 is a logistics and resupply mission for the International Space Station, carrying such payloads as a Russian crane, the Strela; a U.S.-built crane; the Spacehab Oceaneering Space System Box (SHOSS), a logistics items carrier; and STARSHINE, a student-shared experiment KSC-99pp0550

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- As part of Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities, the STS-109 crew practices emergency exit from the Shuttle.  Leading the way to the slidewire basket on the 195-foot level is Pilot Duane Carey, followed by Commander Scott Altman.  The TCDT also includes a simulated launch countdown.  STS-109 is a Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission, with goals to replace Solar Array 2 with Solar Array 3, replace the Power Control Unit, remove the Faint Object Camera and install the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), install the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) Cooling System, and install New Outer Blanket Layer insulation.  The 11-day mission will require five spacewalks to perform the tasks.   Launch of STS-109 aboard Space Shuttle Columbia is scheduled for Feb. 28, 2002 KSC-02pd0083

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- --   STS-110 crew members sit in the slidewire basket, part of emergency egress equipment on the pad.  From left are Mission Specialists Steven L. Smith, Lee M.E. Morin and Jerry L. Ross.  The crew is taking part in Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities, which also include a simulated launch countdown, held at KSC prior to each Space Shuttle flight.  Scheduled for launch April 4, the 11-day mission will feature Shuttle Atlantis docking with the International Space Station (ISS) and delivering the S0 truss, the centerpiece-segment of the primary truss structure that will eventually extend over 300 feet.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - STS-112 Pilot Pamela Melroy (left) and Commander Jeffrey Ashby hurry toward the slidewire baskets on the 195-foot level of the Fixed Service Structure, Launch Pad 39B. They and the rest of the crew are practicing emergency egress from the pad during Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities. Mission STS-112 aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch no earlier than Oct. 2, between 2 and 6 p.m. EDT.  STS-112 is the 15th assembly mission to the International Space Station.  Atlantis will be carrying the S1 Integrated Truss Structure, the first starboard truss segment, to be attached to the central truss segment, S0, and the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) Cart A.  The CETA is the first of two human-powered carts that will ride along the ISS railway, providing mobile work platforms for future spacewalking astronauts. KSC-02pd1354
