The second stage of the Delta II rocket which will to be used to launch the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft is erected at Launch Complex 17A at Cape Canaveral Air Station. Scheduled for launch on Aug. 25, ACE will study low-energy particles of solar origin and high-energy galactic particles. The ACE observatory will be placed into an orbit almost a million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away from the Earth, about 1/100 the distance from the Earth to the Sun KSC-97PC1175
The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) undergoes final prelaunch processing in KSC’s Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility-2 (SAEF-2) before being transported to Pad A at Launch Complex 17, Cape Canaveral Air Station, for mating to the Delta II launch vehicle. This photo was taken during a news media opportunity. The worker at right is installing protective covering over one of the spacecraft’s solar arrays. ACE with its combination of nine sensors and instruments will investigate the origin and evolution of solar phenomenon, the formation of solar corona, solar flares and acceleration of the solar wind. Launch is targeted for Aug. 24 KSC-97PC1236

In the Payload Hazardous Service Facility, workers lower the Stardust spacecraft onto a workstand. The spacecraft will undergo installation and testing of the solar arrays, plus final installation and testing of spacecraft instruments followed by an overall spacecraft functional test. Built by Lockheed Martin Astronautics near Denver, Colo., for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and NASA, the spacecraft Stardust will use a unique medium called aerogel to capture comet particles flying off the nucleus of comet Wild 2 in January 2004, plus collect interstellar dust for later analysis. Stardust will be launched aboard a Boeing Delta 7426 rocket from Complex 17, Cape Canaveral Air Station, targeted for Feb. 6, 1999. The collected samples will return to Earth in a re-entry capsule to be jettisoned from Stardust as it swings by Earth in January 2006 KSC-98pc1633
