Aquarius Arrives
December 12, 2012
The Aquarius/SAC-D spacecraft is in the Spaceport Systems International payload processing facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Earlier, a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane delivered the spacecraft from Campos, Brazil.
Following final tests, the spacecraft will be integrated to a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket in preparation for launch to low Earth orbit.
