Workers watch as the first part of the fairing closes in on the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) for encapsulation. The spacecraft is already mated to the Pegasus launch vehicle. After encapsulation, the GALEX/Pegasus will be transported to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and mated to the L-1011 about four days before launch. A new launch date has not been determined.
