About this work
In a clean room inside the Astrotech Payload Processing Facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, Ball Aerospace technicians prepare to attach NASA’s National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project (NPP) spacecraft to a payload adapter.
