KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - With workers keeping a close watch, the GOES-N spacecraft is lowered toward its payload adapter in the high bay at Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla. GOES-N is the latest in a series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites for NOAA and NASA providing continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. It will be launched May 18 on a Boeing Delta IV rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-06pd0692
