Workers in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility watch as the Stardust spacecraft is lowered before deploying panels for lighting tests. Stardust is scheduled to be launched aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket from Launch Pad 17A, Cape Canaveral Air Station, on Feb. 6, 1999, for a rendezvous with the comet Wild 2 in January 2004. Stardust will use a substance called aerogel to capture comet particles flying off the nucleus of the comet, plus collect interstellar dust for later analysis. The collected samples will return to Earth in a sample return capsule (seen on top of the spacecraft) to be jettisoned as it swings by Earth in January 2006.

In the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, Beverly St. Ange, with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, wires a biopod, a component of the STS-99 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The SRTM consists of a specially modified radar system that will fly onboard the Space Shuttle during an 11-day mission in September 1999. This radar system will gather data that will result in the most accurate and complete topographic map of the Earth's surface that has ever been assembled. SRTM is an international project spearheaded by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency and NASA, with participation of the German Aerospace Center DLR. Its objective is to obtain the most complete high-resolution digital topographic database of the Earth.

A crane lowers the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), the primary payload on STS-99, into the payload bay of the orbiter Endeavour in Orbiter Processing Facility bay 2. The SRTM consists of a specially modified radar system that will gather data for the most accurate and complete topographic map of the Earth's surface that has ever been assembled. SRTM will make use of radar interferometry, wherein two radar images are taken from slightly different locations. Differences between these images allow for the calculation of surface elevation. The SRTM hardware includes one radar antenna in the Shuttle payload bay and a second radar antenna attached to the end of a mast extended 60 meters (195 feet) from the shuttle. STS-99 is scheduled to launch Sept. 16 at 8:47 a.m. from Launch Pad 39A.

Workers inside orbiter Endeavour's payload bay observe as an overhead crane maneuvers to lift the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) for its transfer out of the orbiter to a payload canister. The payload on mission STS-99, SRTM is being removed to allow technicians access to the orbiter's midbody for planned wiring inspections. Endeavour is in the Orbiter Processing Facility. The entire fleet of orbiters is being inspected for wiring abrasions after the problem was first discovered in Columbia. Shuttle managers are reviewing several manifest options and could establish new target launch dates for the balance of 1999 next week. Shuttle Endeavour currently remains slated for launch in early October.

From the late 1940s through the 1980s, Aerobee rockets carried a range of instruments through the upper atmosphere and into near space for a few minutes of observing time to study the atmosphere, the Sun, and even faint celestial objects. Techniques for stabilization and electronic miniaturization continually improved the ability to do science from Aerobees.
Displayed here are typical instruments flown in Aerobees: mass spectrometers for "weighing" and identifying gases in the atmosphere, ultraviolet photometers, cameras, magnetometers, and devices for providing light control, such as a gravity-actuated shutter. Also here is a plaque given to Charles Johnson, a charter member of the Naval Research Lab's upper atmosphere research team, and the tip of the Aerobee nosecone that carried the payload used to discover the first discrete x-ray source in the sky.

Rather than ordering a clear 5" tube for the BT-60, I improvised one using a florescent light bulb plastic guard. It's a little bigger than the BT-60, but some electrical tape fixed up the nose cone's fit. I modified the guard's end cap using scrap balsa, CA glue, and a large safety pin to create my own balsa nose block. To improve the security of the payload section, I used 3 screws (about the size used for eyeglasses) to hold the clear payload section to the nose block.
