KSC-05PD-2073
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Workers at Kennedy Space Center load an airplane with supplies heading to Stennis Space Center in Mississippi for NASA workers there. Both Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans and Stennis were effected by Hurricane Katrina. KSC is sending a helicopter with medical supplies and an Emergency Medical Technician to Stennis. A NASA plane is carrying medical supplies, food and chain saws, as well as a physician and two high voltage technicians to Michoud to ensure the facility can safely receive power when the main electricity grid comes online. KSC has sent a truck with 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel and three large generators: a 1-megawatt generator, and 125- and 225-kilowatt generators. A 14-person security team is also going to Michoud to relieve the security professionals at that location.
