About this work
In the early morning hours, Space Shuttle Discovery is framed with light from the Fixed Service Structure on Launch Pad 39B as it waits for flight and mission STS-103. At the top is seen the external tank gaseous oxygen vent arm system with the vent hood (commonly called the "beanie cap") poised above the external tank. The retractable arm and the beanie cap are designed to vent gaseous oxygen vapors away from the Space Shuttle.
