About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the Vehicle Assembly Building, Michael Cinquigianno (left), who is a system test mechanical technician with Lockheed Martin, checks out the vent valve assembly on External Tank 121. Looking on is Lance Mercier, with Lockheed Martin Quality Control. The assembly sits on top of the tank and, when on the launch pad, is connected to the “beanie cap,” a swing-arm-mounted cap that covers the oxygen tank vent on top of the tank during the countdown.
