A Ball technician inspects the CERES instrument prior to the lift harness being attached. The instrument is then moved alongside the spacecraft where it is lifted above the JPSS-1 spacecraft and lowered into place. Once the instrument is secured to the spacecraft, the lift fixture is removed from the CERES instrument. The final shot shows the CERES instrument with its purge cover attached.
