About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, spacecraft technicians align the sections of an Atlas V rocket payload fairing around NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL). Next, the lab will be transported to the launch pad. The fairing will protect the spacecraft from the impact of aerodynamic pressure and heating during ascent.
