DescriptionAtlas V Launch Vehicle on Stand (KSC-20220928-PH-SNG01 0105).jpg |
English: Teams prepare to lift the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA’s Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) mission and rotate it to a vertical position by crane following its arrival to the Vertical Integration Facility (VIF) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Sept. 28, 2022. Once JPSS-2 – enclosed inside its protective payload fairing – arrives at the VIF, it will be secured to the top of the rocket. JPSS-2 is the third satellite in the Joint Polar Satellite System series that will be used to capture data and improve weather forecasts, leading scientists to better predict for extreme weather events and climate change. Launching as a secondary payload to JPSS-2 is NASA’s Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID), dedicated to the memory of Bernard Kutter. LOFTID is a technology demonstration of an inflatable heat shield that could one day help land humans on Mars. Liftoff is targeted for 2:25 p.m. Pacific time (5:25 p.m. Eastern time) on Nov. 1, 2022, from Vandenberg’s Space Launch Complex 3E. |
