About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the Vertical Processing Facility at KSC, technicians begin to peel away the protective 'cocoon' from the lower portion of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Removal from the upper portion has just been completed. The cocoon is a sanitary liner which further assures cleanliness. After the lower portion is cut away, there will be a final cleaning of the telescope and a contamination inspection. A fresh cocoon will then be lowered over HST.
