XRS Team and M-V-6

Eight happy people, lovingly attired in their bright yellow hardhats, pose before the towering might of the M-V-6 rocket. (87K JPEG)

Here's some fraction of the portion of the XRS team that is at the launch site. Several more people weren't there when we snapped the photo, and several more weren't at the site yet. And of course there are hundreds more who didn't get to attend the launch at all. Left to right:

Kenji Okomoto, cryogenic engineer
Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Deputy Project Manager
Kevin Boyce, electronics engineer
