{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. Inside the Astrotech Payload
                Processing Facility on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California,
                the cover of the shipping container is lifted away from the newly
                arrived Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite
                Observation (CALIPSO). CALIPSO will fly in combination with the
                CloudSat satellite to provide never-before-seen 3-D perspectives
                of how clouds and aerosols form, evolve, and affect weather and
                climate. CALIPSO and CloudSat will join three other satellites in
                orbit to enhance understanding of climate systems. The launch
                date for CALIPSO/CloudSat is no earlier than Aug. 22.
