Your challenge is to tell us the location of the satellite image and why it is interesting.
Final prelaunch operations are underway for NASA’s TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) mission. Technicians encapsulated the twin satellites within a payload fairing on Friday, July 18, inside the Astrotech Space Operations facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The fairing will protect the mission during launch through the atmosphere and before […]
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Follow On–Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) Observatory, set to provide quicker and more accurate space weather forecasts, arrived on July 20 at the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Technicians will process the spacecraft and ready it for launch alongside two NASA observatories, […]
Technicians offloaded NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory following arrival on July 20 at the Astrotech Space Operations Facility near the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Workers drove the spacecraft from a BAE Systems facility in Colorado, where teams built the spacecraft bus and integrated instruments at the Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkely in California.
