About this work
Technicians move the Landsat 9 spacecraft over to the evolved expendable vehicle secondary payload adapter (ESPA) for mating operations inside the Vertical Integration Facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Aug. 11, 2021. The ESPA connects Landsat 9 and the payload adapter (PMA) – the PMA then will attach to the second stage of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. Landsat 9 will launch on the Atlas V from Space Launch Complex 3 at Vandenberg in September 2021.
