KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - Master Sgt. Logan Cathcart, 317th Airlift Quadron loadmaster, coordinates the offload of a shipping container holding NASA's Lucy spacecraft as it is unloaded from an Air Force C-17 Gloebmaster III, from Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, on the runway of the Launch and Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center, Fla. July 30, 2021. From there, the Lucy spacecraft will move to the Astrotech Space Operations payload processing facility in nearby Titusville, Florida, before its scheduled launch on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Oct. 16, 2021. The Lucy mission will be the first space mission to explore a diverse population of small bodies known as the Jupiter Trojan asteroids. The launch is being managed by NASA's Launch Services Program based at Kennedy, America's multi-user spaceport. (NASA Photo \ Kim Shiflett)
