VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A technician prepare to remove the covering of the payload fairing for the Glory mission. He is working inside the Astrotech payload processing facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

Once Glory reaches orbit, it will collect data on the properties of aerosols and black carbon.
