The Landsat 9 Observatory being Encapsulated
Detailed Description
The Landsat 9 observatory in one half of its fairing (left); the L9 observatory being encapsulated in its two fairing halves (center); and the final push to fully encapsulate the satellite (right). Fun fact: In the first two images, you can see the L9 EFS and its rectangular SmallSat dispensers just below the L9 observatory and payload adapter ring.
