Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(02/26/2002) -- The nose fairing encapsulating the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite-I (TDRS-I) is lifted up the launch tower at Pad 36-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. The fairing will be attached to the Lockheed Martin Atlas IIA rocket for launch. The second in a new series of telemetry satellites, TDRS-I replenishes the existing on-orbit fleet of six spacecraft. The TDRS System is the primary source of space-to-ground voice, data and telemetry for the Space Shuttle. It also provides communications with the International Space Station and scientific spacecraft in low-Earth orbit such as the Hubble Space Telescope. This new advanced series of satellites will extend the availability of TDRS communications services until about 2017. Launch of TDRS-I is scheduled for March 8 between 5:39 - 6:19 p.m. EST
