About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- After rollback of the Rotating Service Structure at Launch Pad 39A, Space Shuttle Endeavour, mated with its solid rocket boosters (left and right) and external tank (center), is bathed in light, ready for launch on mission STS-99. On top of the external tank, a light gleams like a star on the 13-foot-wide Gaseous Oxygen Vent Hood, often called the "beanie cap." The hood helps vent gaseous oxygen vapors away from the Space Shuttle.
