(06/06/2001) -- An S-band medium gain antenna is installed on NASA's Genesis spacecraft in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility in KSC's industrial area. The spacecraft is undergoing final preparations for its launch aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket on July 30 at 12:36 p.m. EDT.

NASA's Genesis project is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Lockheed Martin Astronautics built the Genesis spacecraft for NASA in Denver, Colo
