About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Under a clear blue sky, Space Shuttle Discovery is ready for launch of mission STS-116 from Launch Pad 39B. Atop the fixed service structure at left looms the 80-foot-high lightning mast, part of the lightning protection system on the pad. Beneath Discovery's wings are the tail masts, which provide several umbilical connections to the orbiter, including a liquid-oxygen line through one and a liquid-hydrogen line through another.
