Images showcasing the handling and transport of rocket components for upcoming space missions. Featuring spacecraft boosters and payloads in various stages of preparation.

A transport truck is about to take a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V booster from the Mariner cargo ship at the Army Outpost wharf at Port Canaveral, Florida, to the hangar at the Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center (ASOC), located south of Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Atlas V is scheduled to launch a Cygnus spacecraft on the Orbital ATK CRS-7 commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station. Scheduled to liftoff March 19, 2017, the Orbital ATK CRS-7 mission will deliver thousands of pounds of supplies, equipment and scientific research materials that improve life on Earth and drive progress toward future space exploration.
