About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — From the payload changeout room on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, engineers oversee the closing of space shuttle Atlantis' payload bay doors around the cargo -- the Columbus Laboratory seen here. During launch preparations, technicians noticed a small section of a braided metal hose that was bent in a shape similar to the Greek letter Omega. The radiator retract hose, part of the shuttle's cooling system that carries Freon, is designed to flex.
