    • Description: A thermal control model of a Mariner Jupiter saturn spacecraft was encapsulated in the Kennedy Space Center Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Building 1 (SAEF-1) today. Here the shroud is being moved to a position above the thermal control model. Tests of the ground cooling unit that will be used to air-condition the Mariner Jupiter saturn spacecraft at the launch pad will be conducted in SAEF-1. Following the tests, the thermal control model will be returned to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The first of two Mariner Jupiter Saturn spacecraft will be launched atop a Titan Centaur booster from Complex 41, Cape Canaveral, in August 1977. The second launch is scheduled in September 1977.
