About this work
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Orbital Sciences’ L-1011 carrier aircraft is one step closer to launching NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR. The Pegasus XL rocket to which the telescope is mated has been attached beneath the aircraft at the “hot pad,” located on the ramp adjacent to the runway on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The duo will be flown from Vandenberg to the U.S.
