This past weekend saw the return of the Florida Space Coast’s annual Cocoa Beach Air Show. Tens-of-thousands of people turned out to enjoy the sights and sounds, and also to cheer on their local combat search-and-rescue airmen – the 920th Rescue Wing from nearby Patrick Air Force Base, the “guardian angels” who kept watch over NASA’s astronauts for so many years.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft has revealed the giant asteroid Vesta has its own version of ring around the collar. Two new papers, based on observations from the low-altitude mapping orbit of the Dawn mission, show volatile, or easily evaporated, materials have colored Vesta's surface in a broad swath around its equator.

Early this morning crews at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility backed out the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, or SCA, from the mate-demate device (MDM). With the now retired space shuttle Endeavour attached to the top of NASA 905 (the SCA's official designation), the unique pair are ready to begin their cross country flight across the southern United States to Los Angeles this Tuesday - weather permitting.
