About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At a dock in Port Canaveral, the SRB Retrieval Ship Liberty Star transfers its tow cargo, a spent solid rocket booster, to a starboard position for the balance of its journey to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The booster is from Space Shuttle Discovery, which launched on July 4. The space shuttle’s solid rocket booster casings and associated flight hardware are recovered at sea. The boosters impact the Atlantic Ocean approximately seven minutes after liftoff.
