KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A worker in the Multi-Payload Processing Facility gestures toward the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) being prepared for encapsulation. The first part of the fairing is behind him. 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.
