Ares I-X Booster Segment Assembly at Kennedy Space Center
The image shows the process of assembling the Ares I-X aft booster segment with the aft skirt in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This procedure involves moving the segment to High Bay 1 before lowering it onto the mobile launch platform in High Bay 3. This is a stage in constructing the Ares I-X launch vehicle, intended for a flight test no earlier than August 30. As part of NASA's Constellation Program, the Ares I-X acts as a prototype for the Ares I, which will eventually facilitate crewed space missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond. Suitable for educational articles, aerospace engineering presentations, historical records, and space exploration studies.
