About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is ready to be encapsulated before moving to the launch pad. The fairing protects the spacecraft during launch and flight through the atmosphere. Once in space, it is jettisoned. Launch of the MRO aboard an Atlas V rocket will be from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
