(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. Genesis will capture samples of the ions and elements in the solar wind and return them to Earth for scientists to use to determine the exact composition of the Sun and the solar system's origin. 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
