About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Astrotech Space Operation's payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla., a protective canister encases NASA's twin Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory spacecraft. Preparations are under way to transport the lunar probes, attached to a spacecraft adapter ring in their side-by-side launch configuration, to the launch pad. The spacecraft will fly in tandem orbits around the moon for several months to measure its gravity field.
