Rescue Reservists support NASA's planet-hunting mission
CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla. - Rescue Reservists from the 920th Rescue Wing at Patrick Air Force, Fla. successfully supported a Delta II rocket launch carrying NASA's Kepler telescope to space for planet exploration March 6. The Reserve aircrews launched two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters approx. three hours prior to the launch to clear a 1,000 square-mile area of the Atlantic Ocean warning boaters and ship captains that they were beneath the path of the rocket's trajectory asking them to move to safety.
