|
Kennedy Space Center (KSC) technicians, wearing clean suits, prepare the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) for the installation of the high-gain antenna on the instrument module. UARS is in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF) for preflight preparation and testing. It is held in a ground support structure via its outrigger trusses during processing. Visible UARS components include: the Cyrogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES) (at bottom left); the grapple fixture (center); the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) equipment (at bottom right); and the stowed solar array (SA) (at top). View provided by KSC with alternate KSC number KSC-91PC-1056.
