About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Preparations to move the mobile service tower, or gantry, from around the Delta II 7925 rocket are under way under the lights on Launch Pad 17A at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Equipped with three stages and nine strap-on solid rocket motors, the Delta II rocket packs plenty of punch for sending the Phoenix spacecraft on its way toward Mars. Launch is targeted for Aug. 4 during one of two opportunities for liftoff: 5:26 or 6:02 a.m. EDT.
