Title : Two solid rocket boosters are lifted up the tower on Launch Pad 17A
Caption :
(06/04/1999) --- Two solid rocket boosters are lifted up the tower on Launch Pad 17A, Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS), to be mated with a Boeing Delta II rocket. The rocket is targeted to launch NASA's Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) on June 23 at CCAS. Developed by The Johns Hopkins University under contract to Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., FUSE will investigate the origin and evolution of the lightest elements in the universe hydrogen and deuterium. In addition, the FUSE satellite will examine the forces and process involved in the evolution of the galaxies, stars and planetary systems by investigating light in the far ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
