Fires in the Southern United
| Title |
Fires in the Southern United States |
| Description |
In the southern United States on March 5, 2006, a number of fires were puffing small plumes of smoke that created hazy conditions across the region. This image of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov ] satellite. Places where the sensor detected actively burning fires are outlined in red. In Alabama, several individual puffs of smoke are visible in locations where the sensor did not detect a fire. This may be because those fires were not hot enough or large enough for the sensor to register them as "hot spots." A swath of haze lingers over the Gulf of Mexico at lower right. At lower left is the Mississippi River Delta. NASA image courtesy the MODIS Rapid Response Team, [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov ] Goddard Space Flight Center |

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- External tank No. 117 rests inside the barge at the Turn Basin in the Launch Complex 39 Area after being moved from NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building. The tank is being shipped to NASA?s Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana for modifications. The barge will be moved to Port Canaveral where one of NASA?s solid rocket booster retrieval ships will take it and tow it around the Florida peninsula to Michoud. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller |

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Lockheed Martin technicians from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana create a clean-room working area around the "manhole" on the external tank designated for mission STS-121. The work is part of the process in removing and replacing the external tank's four liquid hydrogen main engine cutoff sensors, which indicate whether the tank still has fuel during its climb to orbit. After the cleaning, the manhole will be removed to provide access to the area of the sensors for their removal. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann |
