About this work
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- At Astrotech's payload processing facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, workers guide NASA's Glory spacecraft, now completely enclosed in its payload fairing, as it is lowered onto a transporter in the airlock for its move to Space Launch Complex 576-E. There it will be joined with the Taurus XL rocket's third stage. The hose connected to the fairing is an environmental purge that keeps the spacecraft dry and temperature controlled.
