Launch of the Ares 1 - X - Ares 1 - X rocket launch - Launch of the Ares 1 - X rocket of the American Constellation program, 28 October 2009. The first stage ignites on Nasa's Ares I - X test rocket at Launch Pad 39B at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:30 a.m. EDT on Oct. 28. The rocket produces 2.96 million pounds of thrust at liftoff and reaches a speed of 100 mph in eight seconds. This was the first launch from Kennedy's pads of a vehicle other than the space shuttle since the Apollo Program's Saturn rockets were retired. The parts used to make the Ares I - X booster flew on 30 different shuttle missions ranging from STS - 29 in 1989 to STS - 106 in 2000. The data returned from more than 700 sensors throughout the rocket will be used to refine the design of future launch vehicles and bring NASA one step closer to reaching its exploration goals

The huge, 363 - feet tall Apollo 11 (Spacecraft 107/Lunar Module 5/Saturn 506) space vehicle is launched from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), at 9:32 a.m. (EDT), July 16, 1969. Onboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. Apollo 11 is the United States first lunar landing mission. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descend in the Lunar Module (LM) “” Eagle””” to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the moon, astronaut Collins will remain with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) “” Columbia””” in lunar orbit

It moves on eight tracks, each containing 57 shoes, or cleats, weighing one ton each. Loaded with the Space Shuttle, the Crawler can move at a maximum speed of approximately 1 mile an hour. A leveling system in the Crawler keeps the Shuttle vertical while negotiating the 5 percent grade leading to the top of the launch pad. Launch of Discovery on its Return to Flight mission, STS-114, is targeted for May 15 with a launch window that extends to June 3. During its 12 - day mission, Discovery's seven - person crew will test new hardware

Space shuttle Atlantis emerges from the exhaust cloud building on Launch Pad 39A at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff on its STS - 129 mission came at 2:28 p.m. EST Nov. 16 2009. Aboard are crew members Commander Charles O. Hobaugh; Pilot Barry E. Wilmore; and Mission Specialists Leland Melvin, Randy Bresnik, Mike Foreman and Robert L. Satcher Jr. On STS - 129, the crew will deliver two Express Logistics Carriers to the International Space Station, the largest of the shuttle's cargo carriers, containing 15 spare pieces of equipment including two gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, two pump modules, an ammonia tank assembly and a spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm.

In 2010, a Soyuz launcher will take off from Europe's Spaceport in English Guiana. This will be an historic event as it will be the first time that a Soyuz is launched from a spaceport other than Baikonur or Plesetsk. It will also be a milestone in the strategic cooperation between Europe and Russia on launchers. The Soyuz launch vehicle that will be used at Europe's Spaceport is the Soyuz - 2 version called Soyuz - ST. This includes the Fregat upper stage and the ST fairing. Soyuz - 2 is the most recent version of the renowned family of Russian launchers that began the space race more than 50 years ago by launching Sputnik, the first satellite placed in orbit, and then sending the first man into space. Soyuz - 2 will have improved performance and be able to carry up to 3 tons into geostationary transfer or

The Ariane 44LP rocket is the second most powerful version of the Ariane 4 cranes. Maiden launch of Ariane 4, from the Ariane Launch Complex no.2 (ELA-2) at the Guiana Space Centre, Europe's space port, on June 15, 1988. On its first mission (V22), Ariane 4 flew in 44LP configuration, with four liquid and four solid boosters. Two primary payloads were successfully released in gestationary tansfer orbit (GTO): ESA's Meteosat P2 meteorological satellite and PanamSat 1, the first private international communication satellite. The Amsat 3C microsatellite was also flown piggyback and successfully deployed. The Ariane 44LP was the second most powerful version of the Ariane 4 series. Its initial payload capacity of 3,700 kg to GTO was eventually increased to 4,330 kg through a series of upgrades
