The Next Phase Completed Exactly one month after the successful fitting of the first two Decent Engines to the ML-1, the second pair of engines which need to be fitted to the outer hull of the ML One spacecraft make their journey into space and are also successfully fitted. With this task completed the ML-1 is then safely moved through space for a re-docking to the ISS. In the two months that follow NASA’s Hercules Super Booster and its Cocoon Cargo Carrier will once again be used to launch into space the four Decent Engines needed for next phase of construction of the ML Two spacecraft. The picture above shows the ML-2 as the Orbital Shuttle Atlantis takes it back to its docking port on the ISS after the successful installation of its second pair of Decent Engines on its outer hull. Whilst these events take place, on the ground far below, the next phase of Robert Carter’s grand design for taking America back into space after the end of the space shuttle programme slowly takes shape in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre. Footnote – Space Facts for Future Reference 1. Objects in space are weightless but have varying amounts of mass. 2. Mass can be influenced by gravity. Here ends the next section.
