About this work
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – In Orbital Sciences’ hangar on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, is hidden from sight as the Pegasus fairing closes around it during the fairing’s reinstallation. Access to the spacecraft was needed for compatibility testing to verify communication with a tracking station in Hawaii. With the change in the launch timeframe to June, this station will be needed to support launch.
