About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the Vehicle Assembly Building, United Space Alliance engineer John LaPlante attaches a crane to the External Tank (ET) designated to fly on Return to Flight mission STS-114. The tank is being lifted from a checkout cell prior to mating with the Solid Rocket Boosters. The ET is recently redesigned to meet recommendations of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board before return to flight.
