About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Space Shuttle Discovery and the mobile launcher platform sit on Launch Pad 39B. The shuttle's external tank is capped by the oxygen vent hood (at top). Below it is the orbiter access arm which swings out from the fixed service structure to the orbiter crew compartment hatch to allow personnel to enter the crew compartment. The outer end of the access arm ends in an environmental chamber (white room) that mates with the orbiter and holds six persons.
