title	Flight Engineering Team Members Enjoy the Launch
Description	For over five years, Flight Engineering Team members have dedicated tireless hours to creating the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. On August 12, 2005, Kyle Martin, Peter Xaypraseuth, and David Skulsky take five minutes to experience the thrill of watching their spacecraft launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida via TV screens in the Mission Support Area at JPL in California.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - At Kennedy Space Center?s Shuttle Landing Facility, one of two containers with the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) equipment is rolled toward the ramp of the Air Force C-17 cargo plane. The MRO is being moved to the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility. The MRO was built by Lockheed-Martin for NASA?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. It is the next major step in Mars exploration and scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in a window opening Aug. 10. The MRO carries six primary instruments: the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, Context Camera, Mars Color Imager, Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars, Mars Climate Sounder and Shallow Radar. By 2007, the MRO will begin a series of global mapping, regional survey and targeted observations from a near-polar, low-altitude Mars orbit. It will observe the atmosphere and surface of Mars while probing its shallow subsurface as part of a ?follow the water? strategy.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA?s Kennedy Space Center, workers from Lockheed Martin help raise the high-gain antenna vertically for installation on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). After solar array installation, the MRO will be transported to the Vertical Installation Facility in late July. It will join the Atlas V for the final phase of launch preparations. The spacecraft is then scheduled to undergo a functional test, and a final week of integrated testing and closeouts. The MRO was built by Lockheed Martin for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. It is the next major step in Mars exploration and scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in a window opening Aug. 10. The MRO is an important next step in fulfilling NASA?s vision of space exploration and ultimately sending human explorers to Mars and beyond.

Description	KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF) at NASA?s Kennedy Space Center, the cover is removed from one of the boxes containing NASA?s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Here in the PHSF, the spacecraft will undergo multiple mechanical assembly operations and electrical tests to verify its readiness for launch. A test this month will verify the spacecraft?s ability to communicate through NASA's Deep Space Network tracking stations. A June test will check the deployment of the spacecraft's high gain communications antenna. Another major deployment test will check out the spacecraft's large solar arrays. The MRO was built by Lockheed-Martin for NASA?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. It is the next major step in Mars exploration and scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in a window opening Aug. 10.
