About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In Hangar AF at Cape Canaveral, Fla., workers remove the separation rings from around a segment of one of the retrieved solid rocket boosters from the STS-126 launch. The pins attaching the segments to each other are removed at the start. Each separation ring has three joints that help mold the ring around the segment and an air motor is used to rotate the rings to separate the segments.
