Leaving the confines of a Lockheed Martin factory tucked into the foothills of Colorado, NASA's Juno spacecraft will fly to Florida aboard a U.S. Air Force cargo plane Friday to start preparing for launch to Jupiter in August.

These photos show Juno inside a sealed box being loaded onto a transport trailer Thursday at Lockheed Martin's Waterton Canyon facility southwest of Denver.

The images also show one of the GRAIL satellites being built to travel to the moon this fall and a new docking simulation facility with full-scale mock-ups of space station modules and the Orion spacecraft.

GRAIL consists of two spacecraft to be launched in September to circle the moon.

The lab's first user is the Orion spacecraft, a capsule officials hope will be the baseline for the vehicle to carry astronauts into deep space later this decade.
