  • Swift pre-launch (November 4, 2004)
  • original description: At NASA’s Hangar AE on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Fla., technicians check the attachment of the base petals of a transportation canister around the bottom of the payload attach fitting on the Swift spacecraft. Swift is a first-of-its-kind multi-wavelength observatory dedicated to the study of gamma-ray burst (GRB) science. Its three instruments will work together to observe GRBs and afterglows in the gamma ray, X-ray, ultraviolet and optical wavebands. Swift is expected to observe more than 200 gamma-ray bursts – the most comprehensive study of GRB afterglows to date – during its 2-year mission. Swift is scheduled to launch in mid-November from Launch Pad 17-A at CCAFS.
