About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., the Deep Impact spacecraft is secure in the canister for its move to Launch Pad 17-B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. Then, in the mobile service tower, the fairing will be installed around the spacecraft. The fairing is a molded structure that fits flush with the outside surface of the Delta II upper stage booster and forms an aerodynamically smooth joint, protecting the spacecraft during launch.
