KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - A truck with a 1-megawatt generator is prepared for a trip to Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Michoud was left without power following Hurricane Katrina. 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. In addition, a 14-person security team is also going to Michoud to relieve the security professionals at that location. Stennis Space Center also suffered damage and power outages from Hurricane Katrina. KSC is sending a helicopter with medical supplies and an Emergency Medical Technician to Stennis, plus a 1-megawatt generator, 125- and 225-kilowatt generators, and 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel.
