About this work
Inside the high bay of the Astrotech Space Operations facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, technicians help secure NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) to the payload adapter on Aug. 30, 2018. ICESat-2 is being prepared for its scheduled launch from Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg on the final United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket. ICESat-2 will measure the height of a changing Earth, one laser pulse at a time, 10,000 laser pulses a second.
