About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the mobile service tower on Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the THEMIS spacecraft is being prepared for installation of the fairing. The fairing is a molded structure that fits flush with the outside surface of the Delta II upper stage booster and forms an aerodynamically smooth nose cone, protecting the spacecraft during launch and ascent. THEMIS is an acronym for Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms.
