Center Director Bob Cabana speaks to employees about the significance of moving the Ares I-X aft skirt from the Assembly and Refurbishment Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility. The aft skirt underwent modifications in the ARF. In the RSPF, it will be stacked with the aft motor to form the aft assembly. The complete Ares I-X will be assembled in the Vehicle Assembly Building. The launch of Ares I-X is targeted for August 2009. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann
