Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Boeing workers at Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., watch the movement of the upper canister as it is lowered around the MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft. The canister will be attached to the lower protective panels around the Delta II upper stage booster for the transportation of MESSENGER to Launch Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
