An Antonov An-124 cargo plane, foreground, is seen at NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Launch and Landing Facility on Nov. 1, 2019 after delivering the Solar Orbiter spacecraft from Munich, Germany. The spacecraft was placed on a truck for transportation from the Florida spaceport to the Astrotech Space Operations facility in nearby Titusville. Solar Orbiter is a European Space Agency mission with strong NASA participation. The mission aims to study the Sun, its outer atmosphere and solar winds. The spacecraft will provide the first images of the Sun’s poles. NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy is managing the launch. Liftoff is scheduled for Feb. 5, 2020, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
