  • Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter fully assembled prior to launch (July 25, 2005)
  • original description: In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is ready to be encapsulated before moving to the launch pad. The fairing protects the spacecraft during launch and flight through the atmosphere. Once in space, it is jettisoned. Launch of the MRO aboard an Atlas V rocket will be from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The MRO 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.
