Summary

[edit]
Description

At Space Launch Complex 17B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, spacecraft technicians monitor the movement of a section of the clamshell-shaped Delta payload fairing as it encloses NASA's twin Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft. The fairing protected the spacecraft from the impact of aerodynamic pressure and heating during ascent and was jettisoned once the spacecraft was outside the Earth's atmosphere.
