Summary

Description
English: KSC-2009-4759 (08/17/2009) --- VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- At Vandenberg Air Force Base's Astrotech processing facility in California, workers secure NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, spacecraft onto a work stand. At right is seen the fixed panel solar array. The satellite will survey the entire sky at infrared wavelengths, creating a cosmic clearinghouse of hundreds of millions of objects, which will be catalogued, providing a vast storehouse of knowledge about the solar system, the Milky Way, and the universe. Launch is scheduled no earlier than Dec. 10. Photo credit: NASA/Moore, VAFB
