Inside the NASA spacecraft processing hangar 1610 located on North Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, Lockheed-Martin workers attach a crane to lift the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA-N) spacecraft from its shipping container and move it to an assembly and test stand. It will be mated to the Delta II payload attach fitting. Launch of NOAA-N aboard the Boeing Delta II rocket is currently scheduled for May 11, 2005. NOAA-N is the fourth in the series of support dedicated microwave instruments for the generation of temperature, moisture, surface, and hydrological products in cloudy regions where visible and infrared (IR) instruments have decreased capability.
