Workers in the Space Assembly and Encapsulation Facility 2 check the connections of the Mars Odyssey Orbiter on the third stage of a Delta rocket. Visible above is the cone-shaped high gain antenna and the black solar array assembly. The Mars Odyssey is scheduled for launch at 11:02 a.m. EDT April 7, 2001, aboard a Delta II rocket from Launch Pad 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The spacecraft is designed to map the surface of Mars KSC01pp0612
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A worker leans over the fairing covering half of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) to make adjustments. The spacecraft is already mated to the Pegasus launch vehicle. After encapsulation, the GALEX/Pegasus will be transported to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and mated to the L-1011 about four days before launch. A new launch date has not been determined.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla., access platforms are being removed from around the encapsulated GOES-O satellite in preparation for moving GOES-O to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 37 pad where it will be mated with the United Launch Alliance Delta IV expendable launch vehicle. The GOES-O satellite is targeted to launch no earlier than June 26. The latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-O was developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. The GOES satellites continuously provide observations of 60 percent of the Earth including the continental United States, providing weather monitoring and forecast operations as well as a continuous and reliable stream of environmental information and severe weather warnings. Once in orbit, GOES-O will be designated GOES-14, and NASA will provide on-orbit checkout and then transfer operational responsibility to NOAA. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-2009-3554
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - At Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., the solar panel on the STEREO observatory "A" has been deployed for testing. STEREO, which stands for Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, consists of two spacecraft whose mission is to take measurements of the sun and solar wind in 3-D, for the first time. This new view will improve our understanding of space weather and its impact on the Earth. Preparations are under way for a liftoff aboard a Delta rocket no earlier than July 30.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At Building AE, the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) is unpacked after being shipped from the Lockheed Martin plant in Sunnyvale, Calif. SIRTF will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space. Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground. Consisting of an 0.85-meter telescope and three cryogenically cooled science instruments, SIRTF is one of NASA's largest infrared telescopes to be launched. SIRTF is scheduled for launch aboard a Delta II rocket from Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. KSC-03pd0619
