About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — On Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the payload bay doors on space shuttle Atlantis are successfully closed for launch. 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 (seen in the middle), part of the shuttle's cooling system that carries Freon, is designed to flex.
