About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At Astrotech Space Operations, a worker prepares the THEMIS spacecraft for black/white light inspection. White light inspection assures the telemetry is operating. Black light inspection uses UVA fluorescence to detect possible particulate microcontamination, minute cracks or fluid leaks. THEMIS consists of five identical probes, the largest number of scientific satellites ever launched into orbit aboard a single rocket.
