Endeavour before lift-off, mission STS-100

After the rollback of the Rotating Service Structure, Space Shuttle Endeavour catches the glow of a setting sun and the lights surrounding it on Launch Pad 39A. Visible at the top of the external tank is the “beanie cap,” a venting apparatus at the end of the Gaseous Oxygen Vent Arm. Below it stretches the Orbiter Access Arm and the White Room is extended, providing a controlled environment for entry into the orbiter. (Credit: NASA)
