Vehicle Assembly Building Back in Business 



Inside the KSC Engine Shop, Boeing-Rocketdyne technicians remove the 
container that enclosed the third and final Space Shuttle Main Engine 
(SSME) for Discovery's Return to Flight mission STS-114. The VAB lost 
820 panels from the south wall during Hurricane Frances, and 25 
additional panels pulled off the east wall by Hurricane Jeanne. 
Employees of Met-Con, a subcontractor in Cocoa, Fla., worked night 
and day on scaffolds hung from the 525-foot-high roof to close the 
holes and enable the facility to return to normal operations.
