Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(09/15/1998) -- Arriving in the early morning hours at Pad 17A, Cape Canaveral Air Station, the fairing for Deep Space 1 is lifted from the truck before being raised to its place on the Boeing Delta 7326 rocket that will launch on Oct. 15, 1998. The first flight in NASA's New Millennium Program, Deep Space 1 is designed to validate 12 new technologies for scientific space missions of the next century. Onboard experiments include an ion propulsion engine and software that tracks celestial bodies so the spacecraft can make its own navigation decisions without the intervention of ground controllers. Deep Space 1 will complete most of its mission objectives within the first two months, but will also do a flyby of a near-Earth asteroid, 1992 KD, in July 1999
