  NASA FACT
   
The seating assignments in the Firing Room change according to the launch vehicle. For example, the seating arrangement for a launch using a Delta II launch vehicle may be different from the seating arrangement for a launch using a Delta II Heavy or a Pegasus launch vehicle.


The Space Infrared Telescope Facility, the final mission of the Great Observatories Program, will use advanced technology to look beyond Earth's atmosphere to probe the early life of the cosmos.
