CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In Firing Room 3 of the Launch Control Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, legacy consoles and monitors are being removed to make way for new systems designed to be flexible so controllers can process and launch multiple types of rockets and spacecraft, whether they are government or commercial models. KSC’s Launch Complex 39 is transitioning to support multiple users with the Firing Rooms being modified to be more generic in nature for upcoming programs.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Space Launch Complex 17B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, spacecraft technicians dressed in clean room attire, known as "bunny" suits, secure half of the clamshell-shaped Delta payload fairing around NASA's twin Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory spacecraft. The fairing will protect the spacecraft from the impact of aerodynamic pressure and heating during ascent and will be jettisoned once the spacecraft is outside the Earth's atmosphere. Launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket from Pad 17B is scheduled for Sept. 8. The spacecraft will fly in tandem orbits around the moon for several months to measure its gravity field. GRAIL's primary science objectives are to determine the structure of the lunar interior, from crust to core, and to advance understanding of the thermal evolution of the moon.

Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: Detail views of the SPACEHAB Liquid-Encapsulated Melt Zone experiment hardware-Fluids Experiment Apparatus (FEA) and electrical connections. The entire film magazine is detail views of exterior electrical connections only. Shallow depth of field of the lens required several frames of imagery to show sharp detail views of the entire length and sides of the self contained experiment module electrical connections. MS Peter Wisoff in views 21 to 25.
