About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. --- On Pad 17-B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the third solid rocket booster joins two others in the mobile service tower. They will be mated with the Delta II rocket that will launch NASA's Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, spacecraft. A series of nine strap-on solid rocket motors will help power the first stage. Because the Delta rocket is configured as a Delta II 7920 Heavy, the boosters are larger than those used on the standard configuration.
