Kennedy Space Center Workers Preparing Space Infrared Telescope Facility Image
Kennedy Space Center workers in cleanroom suits lower a canister onto the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) at Hangar A&E, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This stage of encapsulation prepares the spacecraft for transport to Launch Complex 17-B, where it will be mated with the Delta II rocket. Featuring cryogenically cooled science instruments and an 0.85-meter telescope, SIRTF is being prepared to detect infrared energy radiated by objects in space. Ideal for showcasing NASA operations, space exploration activities, high-tech laboratories, and aerospace engineering processes.
