About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- The third solid rocket booster joins the other two on Launch Complex 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. They will be mated to the Delta II rocket for the Genesis spacecraft launch. Genesis will capture samples of the ions and elements in the solar wind and return them to Earth for scientists to use to determine the exact composition of the Sun and the solar system’s origin. NASA’s Genesis project is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
