About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In the Vehicle Assembly Building, Space Shuttle Atlantis' Main Engine No. 1 is lowered after its removal. An inventory review concerning defective main engine fuel pump tip seals indicated that defective seals may be present on the fuel pump for the engine. The decision was made to replace the suspect engine with one originally slated for Discovery. The main engine nozzle, visible in the photo, is 7.8 feet across and 9.4 feet high.
