About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., technicians place the protective bag around the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, before it is mated with NASA's Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite, known as LCROSS, spacecraft. The satellite's primary mission is to search for water ice on the moon in a permanently shadowed crater near one of the lunar poles.
