About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., the first half of the fairing for the GOES-N spacecraft is raised nearly upright. The fairing will be used to encapsulate, or enclose, the GOES-N satellite for launch. The fairing protects the spacecraft during launch and flight through the atmosphere. Once out of the atmosphere, the fairing is jettisoned.
