KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Workers in the Multi-Payload Processing Facility prepare the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) for encapsulation. The first part of the fairing is in the background. The spacecraft is already mated to the Pegasus launch vehicle. After encapsulation, the GALEX/Pegasus will be transported to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and mated to the L-1011 about four days before launch. A new launch date has not been determined.
