NASA KSC is providing a good "inside" look at Delta IV
processing for the upcoming GOES-N mission. Here are some
links to photos. I think this is the first Delta IV with
a white second stage.
The second stage appears to be the usual orange in the last shot in the
"rotate to vertical" series.
The second stage sits within the tapered interstage section at the top
of the booster in that picture. The portion of the stage that is
visible in that picture is just the narrow cylinder at the top.
The second picture under the topic "First/second stage mating in HIF"
shows this pretty clearly.
