Summary

The Mars Pathfinder and mated PAM-D upper stage booster are ready for transfer from the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility-2 (SAEF-2) on KSC to Launch Complex 17 on Cape Canaveral Air Station. Uppermost is the Mars Pathfinder assembly, with its lander encased in a protective aeroshell attached to the circular cruise stage. Lowermost on the workstand is the PAM-D booster that will give the Pathfinder the final "kick" to send it on its way to Mars. Once at Launch Complex (LC) 17, the Pathfinder will be encased in a protective fairing before being mated to the Delta II expendable launch vehicle that will loft it into orbit. Mars Pathfinder is slated for liftoff from LC 17B on Dec. 2.
