About this work

Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — A second Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) for the MESSENGER spacecraft launch is raised from its transporter to lift up the mobile service tower at Pad 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The first SRB is seen at right. The SRBs will be mated to the Boeing Delta II Heavy rocket for the Aug. 2 launch to the planet Mercury. The spacecraft is expected to reach orbit around Mercury in March 2011.
