About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Space Shuttle Discovery in full launch configuration is revealed after the Rotating Service Structure (RSS) is rotated back at Launch Pad 39B at NASA Kennedy Space Center. The gaseous oxygen vent arm (beanie cap) has been extended to the top of the External Tank and the orbiter access arm is extended to Discovery’s hatch. Rollback of the RSS is a major preflight milestone, typically occurring during the T-11-hour hold on L-1 (the day before launch).
