The protective covers are removed from around the solar panels on the upper stack of the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft, or MMS, in the Astrotech payload processing facility in Titusville, Florida, near Kennedy Space Center. Preparations are underway for illumination testing of the spacecraft's upper stack. Illumination testing of the lower instrumentation payload stack was completed in December. Launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is targeted for March 12.
