Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(06/06/2002) -- Dressed in their SCAPE suits, workers head for the vehicle that will take them to the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility 2 (SAEF-2) to fuel the Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) spacecraft. SCAPE refers to Self-Contained Atmospheric Protective Ensemble. CONTOUR will provide the first detailed look into the heart of a comet -- the nucleus. Flying as close as 60 miles (100 kilometers) to at least two comets, the spacecraft will take the sharpest pictures yet of a nucleus while analyzing the gas and dust that surround them. CONTOUR is scheduled for launch aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket July 1, 2002, from Launch Complex 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
