About this work

Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the mobile service tower at Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, workers watch closely as the upper canister around the MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft is detached from the lower panels. MESSENGER is scheduled to launch Aug. 2. It will return to Earth for a gravity boost in July 2005, then fly past Venus twice, in October 2006 and June 2007.
