About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla., the second half of the payload fairing is ready to be lifted to vertical. It will be installed around the GOES-O satellite. The fairing is a molded structure that fits flush with the outside surface of the rocket and forms an aerodynamically smooth nose cone, protecting the spacecraft during launch and ascent.
