Live footage of the uncrating and the arrival of the Titan III Mars Observer to the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF) is presented. The Mars Observer's mission is to study the surface, atmosphere, interior and magnetic field of Mars from Martian orbit. At the PHSF, fueling of the spacecraft with its orbit insertion and attitude control propellants will occur. This will be followed by mating to the Transfer Orbit Stage (TOS). This is the upper stage that will provide the final thrust to propel the spacecraft on its 11-month journey to Mars.
