While planet Saturn is an unlikely place for living things to take hold, the same is not true of some of its many moons. Satellites like Enceladus and Titan, home to internal oceans, could possibly support life. #SpaceSaturday Photographer Unknown

#SpaceSaturday: During the early #Space Age, nearly everyone #smoked. This caused #ashtrays to become very common, even in the close environment of a launch #blockhouse or control center.
This #console, at Launch Complex 26 at Cape #Canaveral, where the first American satellite, Explorer 1 was launched, has a pull-out ashtray.
When preparing for a launch attempt, the blast doors would be closed and locked hours before launch while the fuel was loaded into the rocket, leaving only artificial ventilation. And everyone was smoking. And the bathroom was outside the blast door.

#SpaceSaturday: This is a refurbished #Atlas #rocket #engine LR89-NA-7 produced by #Rocketdyne until 1960S. The original #AtlasRocket was a “Stage-and-a-Half” type rocket. #Engineers had concerns about the reliability of igniting an engine at high altitude, so the Atlas launched with all 3 engines burning, and would then jettison the two “booster” engines on either side of the “sustainer” engine after about two and a half minutes and continue to fly on the remaining engine.
The Soviet R-7 also ignited all its engines at liftoff, then jettisoned the four outboard stages, tanks and engines, and leave only a single set of fuel and oxidizer tanks and a set of engines remaining, a method called parallel staging.
This #RocketEngine is on display the Air Force #Space and #Missile #Museum in Cape #Canaveral, #Florida.
