There's more than one way to learn engineering: Kennedy's Rocket University class dropped a capsule from 105,000 feet in a test flight. That's more than 19 miles high: http://go.nasa.gov/R4OGPp .- The Flight Readiness Review for the RBSP spacecraft and the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is complete. No significant issues were identified that would be a constraint to launch on Aug. 23. A countdown dress rehearsal will take place Friday. The Launch Readiness Review is set for Aug. 20 and will give the launch team the go for liftoff, with rollout of RBSP atop the Atlas V on Aug. 21.

- It’s moving day! Shuttles Atlantis and Endeavour are on the move. Atlantis is out of the VAB and preparing for a nose to nose photo shoot with Endeavour before moving into OPF-2 for final transition and retirement work.
- This morning at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Flight Readiness Review for the RBSP spacecraft and the Atlas V rocket that will carry it is getting under way in the center's Mission Briefing Room. A few miles away at Launch Complex 41, both separate stand-alone testing and the integrated systems test between the rocket and spacecraft were successfully completed. Spacecraft closeouts will begin tomorrow.
