In the Multi-Payload Processing Facility, the Orbiting and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer-Shuttle Pallet Satellite-2 (ORFEUS-SPAS-2), is already secure in the payload canister as the Wake Shield Facility-3 (WSF-3) is lowered into the canister beside it. Both payloads are being readied for their trip to Launch Complex 39B. Once at the pad, they will be installed into Space Shuttle Columbia for their launch on STS-80 around November 8, 1996.
