About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — A replacement engine is installed in Space Shuttle Atlantis. Main Engine No. 1 was removed after an inventory review concerning defective main engine fuel pump tip seals indicated that defective seals might be present on the previous 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.
