The U.S. Navy\u2019s Mobile User Objective System communications satellite No. 5 was encapsulated in the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket\u2019s payload fairing on June 4 at the Astrotech processing facility in Titusville, Florida. The 18-foot-diamter shroud covers the satellite during the initial minutes of flight as the 206-foot-tall rocket climbs through the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

On June 13, the satellite was transported to Cape Canaveral\u2019s Complex 41 and hoisted atop the Atlas-Centaur rocket at the Vertical Integration Facility to complete assembly of the launcher.<\/p>\n

Launch is planned for June 24 during a 44-minute window of 10:30 to 11:14 a.m. EDT (1430-1511 GMT).<\/p>\n
