CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In Port Canaveral, Fla., workers prepare the container that holds the control center for the X-band radar, at right, installed on the U.S. Army landing craft utility ship Brandy Station. The radar will provide critical support during launch of space shuttle Atlantis on the STS-125 mission. The radar will work with smaller X-band radars placed on the solid rocket booster retrieval ship Liberty Star to provide extremely high-resolution images of any debris that might be created during Atlantis' launch.
