About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The redesigned External Tank is ready to be raised to a vertical position and lifted into the 'checkout cell' of the Vehicle Assembly Building where the tank’s mechanical, electrical and thermal protection systems are inspected. The tank will also undergo new processes resulting from its redesign, including inspection of the bipod heater and External Tank separation camera. The tank will be prepared for 'mating' to the Shuttle’s Solid Rocket Boosters.
