About this work

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - Workers on Launch Pad 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, oversee the lifting of a solid rocket booster into the launch tower. It is one of nine solid rocket boosters being erected and mated to the Delta II rocket for launch of NASA's Space Infrared Telescope Facility. The second stage will later be hoisted atop the first stage. SIRTF will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space.
