Aquarius/SAC-D Spacecraft Offloading from C-17 at Vandenberg AFB at Night

Aquarius/SAC-D spacecraft being offloaded from a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane at Vandenberg Air Force Base at night. The operation involves several personnel in military uniforms preparing the spacecraft for final tests before its integration with a Delta II rocket for an upcoming mission. The Aquarius mission will map global ocean surface salinity, providing crucial data on climate processes. Suitable for use in aerospace technology, military operations, space missions, and scientific research content.
