RM2WBMBW9–KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- On Launch Pad 39a, the Rotating Service Structure rolls back from around Space Shuttle Discovery in preparation for launch on mission STS-105. On the mission, Discovery will be transporting the Expedition Three crew and several payloads and scientific experiments to the ISS, including the Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS) tank. The EAS, which will support the thermal control subsystems until a permanent system is activated, will be attached to the Station during two spacewalks. The three-member Expedition Two crew will be returning to Earth aboard Discovery after a fiv

RM2WBMT58–KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In preparation for launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-110, the Rotating Service Structure (RSS) rolls back into launch position. The RSS provides protected access to the orbiter for changeout and servicing of payloads at the pad. The structure has access platforms at five levels to provide access to the payload bay. The Shuttle rests on the Mobile Launcher Platform (MLP), which straddles the flame trench below. The flame trench is part of the Flame Deflector System that insulates pad structures from the intense heat of a launch. Mission STS-110 is sch
