Summary

Description	English: Pandora’s spacecraft bus was photographed Jan. 10 within a thermal-vacuum testing chamber at Blue Canyon Technologies in Lafayette, Colorado. The bus provides the structure, power, and other systems that will enable the mission to help astronomers better separate stellar features from the spectra of transiting planets.Credit: NASA/Weston Maughan, BCTImage description: In this vertical photo, a metal box placed on a short stand with red supports rests within a large, dark cylindrical chamber. A bundle of blue wires extends from the upper left of the chamber into a coil at the bottom left of the stand. Blue, black, pink, and gold wires can be seen connecting to the front of the box. The background is an off-white wall, and a column is visible at right.
