Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Rollback of the Rotating Service Structure on Launch Pad 39B reveals the Space Shuttle Discovery, scheduled to launch on mission STS-96 at 6:49 a.m. EDT on May 27. Above the top of the external tank is the external tank gaseous oxygen vent arm, with a vent hood, known as the "beanie cap," at the outer end. Below it up against Discovery is the orbiter access arm, which allows entry into the orbiter crew compartment.
