About this work

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A spent solid rocket booster from Discovery's STS-133 launch bobbed in the Atlantis Ocean off the coast of Florida, before toppling over in a retrievable position. The booster is pumped with air to help maintain its flotation and horizontal position. Next, one of NASA's solid rocket booster retrieval ships, Liberty Star or Freedom Star, will tie up to the booster and transport it to Hangar AF at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
