NASA confirmed Wednesday that a test fueling of space shuttle Endeavour's external tank revealed no gaseous hydrogen leaks, verifying recent repairs were successful. The test began at 6:52 a.m. EDT Wednesday. Teams in the Launch Control Center watched closely for signs of a leak as liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen filled the massive orange tank. Previous attempts to launch Endeavour on the STS-127 mission were scrubbed by a leak in the area of the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate, which attaches a gaseous hydrogen vent line to the external tank. Endeavour's launch is now targeted for 11 July at 7:39 p.m. (Image Credit: NASA)
The Air Force has successfully launched an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile from the California coast to an area in the Pacific Ocean some 4,200 miles away. The ICBM was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 3:01 a.m. Monday and carried three unarmed re-entry vehicles to their targets near the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The missile, configured with a National Nuclear Security Administration Test Assembly, was launched under the direction of the 576th Flight Test Squadron. The launch was an operational test to check the weapon system's reliability and accuracy. (Image Credit: USAF)
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-O, successfully launched on Saturday from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The GOES-O spacecraft lifted off at 6:51 p.m. EDT on a United Launch Alliance Delta IV rocket. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's GOES-O satellite will improve weather forecasting and monitor environmental events around the world. The satellite is the second to be launched in the GOES N series of geostationary environmental weather satellites. (Image Credit: NASA)
