STS054-80-028 - STS-054 - Godavari River Delta Panorama, Bay of Bengal, India

description

Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: Sunglint over the Godavari River Delta (16.0N, 82.0E) on the Bay of Bengal, highlights the intricate drainage pattern of the river basin. Offshore, the current boundaries and river plumes are readily vizible. The line of clouds along the coast south of the delta indicate surface winds blowing onshore from the Bay. As the air passes you over the warmer coastal land and water, it begins to rise and form clouds as it reaches the cooler upper atmosphere.

The Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) booster is lowered toward a workstand in Kennedy Space Center's Vertical Processing Facility. The IUS will be mated with the Chandra X-ray Observatory and then undergo testing to validate the IUS/Chandra connections and check the orbiter avionics interfaces. Following that, an end-to-end test (ETE) will be conducted to verify the communications path to Chandra, commanding it as if it were in space. With the world's most powerful X-ray telescope, Chandra will allow scientists from around the world to see previously invisible black holes and high-temperature gas clouds, giving the observatory the potential to rewrite the books on the structure and evolution of our universe. Chandra is scheduled for launch July 22 aboard Space Shuttle Columbia, on mission STS-93 KSC-99pp0619

Inside the Vertical Processing Facility, the Chandra X-ray Observatory is lifted by an overhead crane in order to transfer it into the payload canister transporter and out to Launch Pad 39B. Chandra is scheduled to launch no earlier than July 20 at 12:36 a.m. EDT aboard Space Shuttle Columbia, on mission STS-93. With the world's most powerful X-ray telescope, Chandra will allow scientists from around the world to see previously invisible black holes and high-temperature gas clouds, giving the observatory the potential to rewrite the books on the structure and evolution of our universe KSC-99pp0704
