Plasma Detection Instrument Delivered to JPL

A group of engineers in full white coveralls with masks stand in a clean room. Several engineers are giving a thumbs up hand gesture. They are standing around two faraday cups, part of the spacecraft's plasma detection instrument, following functional tests performed after the instrument was delivered to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern, California.
