Hello All,

For clarification, am I correct that this stage is the 2nd stage of the 
Delta 2 that is similiar to the the Iridium liquid fueled 2nd stage? The 
sat sits show the 3rd stage in heliocentric orbit. This I assume is a 
small solid booster used to push the Pathfinder toward Mars.

I couldn't find any info on the launch configuration for the Mars 
Pathfinder launcher at Boeing's web site.
