NASA\u2019s four Magnetospheric Multiscale mission spacecraft were encapsulated Monday, Feb. 23 in the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket\u2019s 45-foot-tall, 14-foot-diameter nose cone inside Building 9 at the commercial Astrotech processing campus in Titusville.<\/p>\n

In preparation for being encapsulated, team members removed over 700 protective covers from the spacecraft over the previous four days, working from top to bottom to make sure nothing was missed.<\/p>\n

Delivery of the payload to the Atlas 5 assembly building for mating occurred on Friday, Feb. 27.<\/p>\n

Launch of MMS is scheduled for March 12.<\/p>\n
