Titre : Workers check the position of the fairing for Deep Space 1 as it reaches the top
Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(09/15/1998) -- Workers check the position of the fairing for Deep Space 1 as it reaches the top of the Mobile Service Tower where it will be attached to the Boeing Delta 7326 rocket that will launch on Oct. 15, 1998. The first flight in NASA's New Millennium Program, Deep Space 1 is designed to validate 12 new technologies for scientific space missions of the next century. Onboard experiments include an ion propulsion engine and software that tracks celestial bodies so the spacecraft can make its own navigation decisions without the intervention of ground controllers. Deep Space 1 will complete most of its mission objectives within the first two months, but will also do a flyby of a near-Earth asteroid, 1992 KD, in July 1999
