About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, this view from the opposite side of the VAB shows the area of the external fuel tank where the newly installed radius blocks to the tank's support beams known as "stringers" are being installed. The stringers are located near the intertank’s thrust panel area. The thrust panel is where the tank meets the two solid rocket boosters and sees the most stress during the flight into orbit.
