About this work

Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., workers place insulating blankets around the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft. Two solar arrays will be installed June 24-25, followed by a deployment test. The spacecraft will fly past Earth once, Venus twice and Mercury three times before starting a year-long orbital study of Mercury in March 2011.
