Title
Mars Global Surveyor Spacecraft
Full Description
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) workers in the Payload Hazardous Servicing
Facility (PHSF) prepare the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft for transfer to the
launch pad by placing it in a protective canister.
The Surveyor spacecraft (upper) is already mated to its solid propellant upper
stage booster (lower), which is actually the third stage of the Delta II
expendable launch vehicle that will propel the spacecraft on its interplanetary
journey to the Red Planet. Once at Launch Pad 17A on Cape Canaveral Air Station,
the spacecraft and booster assembly will be stacked atop the Delta vehicle. The
Surveyor is slated for liftoff on Nov. 6, 1996 at the beginning of a 20 day
launch period.
