About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. --- On Pad 17-B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the Delta II rocket, at right, that will launch NASA's Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, spacecraft is poised to receive the solid rocket boosters in the mobile service tower, at left. 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.
