In 2007 Kennedy Space Center celebrated its 45th year as NASA's launch operations center. Throughout the year, the dedicated work force launched space shuttles and expendable launch vehicles, worked toward completion of construction of the International Space Station and began moving forward in preparation for the Constellation Program. During the year, Kennedy launched three space shuttle missions delivering critical elements to the International Space Station. A new set of solar power arrays and a connecting module were added to the space station. The Launch Services Program processed four expendable launch vehicles and spacecraft for launches. The program continued to work 34 active missions throughout the year as well. A milestone was reached in April, when the Launch Services Program celebrated the 50th successful expendable launch vehicle since assuming the lead for the agency in 1998. Work for the Constellation Program really began moving forward this year. Kennedy supported the agency with preparations for the test flight of the Ares I-X, scheduled for 2009. Kennedy employees also excelled in applied technology, strived for environmental leadership and strengthened partnerships while providing outreach and educating the community. The employees reached out into the communities and supported local charities through the Combined Federal Campaign.
