Title : The second stage of a Boeing Delta II rocket begins its move up the tower at Pad 17A

Caption :

(01/14/1999) --- The second stage of a Boeing Delta II rocket arrives at the top of the tower at Pad 17A, Cape Canaveral Air Station for mating with the first stage. The rocket is targeted for launch on Feb. 6, carrying the Stardust spacecraft into space for a close encounter with the comet Wild 2 in January 2004. Using a substance called aerogel, Stardust will capture comet particles flying off the nucleus of the comet, plus collect interstellar dust for later analysis. The collected samples will return to Earth in a sample return capsule to be jettisoned as Stardust swings by Earth in January 2006
