About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the launch tower on Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the first part of the fairing is seen in place around the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF). SIRTF will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space. Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground.
