About this photo
A tall white rocket stands upright indoors with both payload fairing doors open, exposing a dense tangle of multicolored wiring, circuit boards, and metal frames inside. A red “DO NOT PAINT” label is printed on the nose cone, and a red “ALLARME INCENDIO” sign is mounted on the white wall to the left. The exposed interior shows neatly arranged electronics and cabling against a plain institutional backdrop.
