About this work
Workers on Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, prepare for mating the second stage of the Delta II Heavy rocket to the first stage below. The rocket will launch the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), currently scheduled for mid-August. SIRTF consists of three cryogenically cooled science instruments and an 0.85-meter telescope, and is one of NASA's largest infrared telescopes to be launched.
