This photo was taken during a news media opportunity. The worker at right is installing protective covering over one of the spacecraft’s solar arrays. ACE with its combination of nine sensors and instruments will investigate the origin and evolution of solar phenomenon, the formation of solar corona, solar flares and acceleration of the solar wind.
