About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- After rollback of the Rotating Service Structure at Launch Pad 39A, Space Shuttle Atlantis awaits a fourth launch attempt on mission STS-101. At the top of the orange external tank can be seen the Gaseous Oxygen Vent Hood, often called the "beanie cap." The hood helps vent gaseous oxygen vapors away from the Space Shuttle. The hood will be raised and retracted two and a half minutes before launch.
