Inside the mobile service tower on Launch Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, with the first half of the fairing in place, the Dawn spacecraft is ready for the second half to be installed. The fairing is a molded structure that fits flush with the outside surface of the Delta II upper stage booster and forms an aerodynamically smooth nose cone, protecting the spacecraft during launch and ascent. Dawn is scheduled to launch between 7:25 and 7:54 a.m. on Sept. 26 aboard a Delta II rocket. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann
