About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At Launch Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the mobile service tower surrounds the Delta II rocket with the THEMIS spacecraft atop. THEMIS, an acronym for Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms, consists of five identical probes that will track violent, colorful eruptions near the North Pole. This will be the largest number of scientific satellites NASA has ever launched into orbit aboard a single rocket.
