Technicians Preparing Aquarius/SAC-D Spacecraft for Testing at Vandenberg Air Force Base

Technicians are seen preparing the Aquarius/SAC-D spacecraft in the Payload Processing Facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The spacecraft is in a horizontal position for final testing before being integrated onto a Delta II rocket. Aquarius, the primary instrument on the SAC-D spacecraft, will analyze ocean surface salinity and its relationship to climate processes. This image is useful for articles on space missions, NASA projects, climate research, and satellite technology.
