Happy Energy Awareness Month! Even NASA has to pay utility bills, and launching rockets, training astronauts, and building space telescopes all require lots of energy and water. In fact, in fiscal year 2023, NASA spent $140M on energy and water utilities. Our top priority is supporting the mission, but we also want to do it as efficiently as possible. Each year, NASA invests an average of $25M in energy efficiency, targeting significant energy uses like NASAKennedy’s Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), where rockets are prepared for launch.

All 10 levels of platforms were extended and retracted as part of an umbilical test. The perspective of the image is looking up at the orange rocket from below.
