About this work

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla., workers maneuver one of the second-row segments of the transportation canister that will be placed around the Space Tracking and Surveillance System – Demonstrators, or STSS Demo, spacecraft. The STSS Demo is a space-based sensor component of a layered Ballistic Missile Defense System designed for the overall mission of detecting, tracking and discriminating ballistic missiles.
