The IBEX spacecraft arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California
on Monday, July 28. It was taken to the Astrotech Space Operations
facility for processing. The following day the spacecraft was removed
from its shipping container and placed on a test stand in the clean

state-of-health checks of the spacecraft's operating systems. Next
week, testing of the spacecraft science instruments is scheduled.

At the Orbital Sciences launch vehicle hangar, prelaunch processing of
the Pegasus XL rocket is under way. Work to attach the second and
third stages is scheduled to begin Aug. 6. Integration of the first
and second stages is planned to start Aug. 8. Fairing preparations
also are scheduled to begin next week.

The L-1011 carrying the Pegasus XL rocket with IBEX is currently
planned to depart from Vandenberg on Sept. 26. After a stop in
Hawaii, the flight will continue and arrive at the Reagan Test Site
at Kwajalein Atoll in the south Pacific on Sept. 28.
