These pictures were taken during the OPAL battery recharge. They show closeups of the payloads attached to the third and fourth stages of the Minotaur.
 
 

Head on view of payloads.

Another view of the payloads. Most items tagged with red are remove before flight items.

A closeup of payloads. Falconsat is on the left. The composite fairing is further on the left. The black canister in the middle is the optical calibration sphere. On the far right is the fourth stage.

JAWSAT closeup. The calibration sphere is on top. The solar panel crossed with red tape is the part of JAWSAT. On the right is the edge of the soft ride system. The copper patches are people's signatures.

Soft Ride closeup. This is the mating system between JAWSAT and the fourth stage. The metal protrusions at the joint are aluminum springs. If you look closely, you can see the red capped exhaust nozels of the fourth stage mounted on the gold colored frame.

Extreme closeup of soft ride springs.

View of payloads from other side. The payloads are in Orbital's vehicle construction facility also used for the Pegasus.

Jamie Cutler attaching recharge cabling.

Closeup of OPAL during recharge. The red and yellow recharge cables run from the lower recharge port on OPAL to a battery charger system.

Cutler preparing for battery recharge of OPAL.

Cutler applies epoxy to recharge connector cover. The epoxy locks down the attachment bolts to prevent loosening during launch.

Recharge teams from the Air Force Academy, OPAL, and JAWSAT work on their payloads.

Cutler and Ellis work on recharge cables for OPAL. On the left, Emery Reeves records Falconsat data. XXX on the right watches over teams.

Closeup of Opal.

JAWSAT payloads. ASUSAT1 can be seen on the bottom side. Falconsat is on the right and OPAL is in the middle. The gap in the soft ride springs is due to transmitter replacement work. Several of the springs were removed to gain access to the failed S-band transmitters that caused the December delay.

Closeup of OPAL recharge port. The extra kapton tape is a safety measure to prevent picosatellite ejection in case of accidental door opening.
