Title : After the rollback of the Rotating Service Structure

Caption :

(04/18/2001) -- 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. At the top of the external tank can be seen the “beanie cap,” a venting apparatus at the end of the Gaseous Oxygen Vent Arm. Below it stretches the Orbiter Access Arm with the White Room extended to the orbiter. The White Room provides a controlled environment for entry into the orbiter. Endeavour is expected to lift off on mission STS-100 on April 19, carrying the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello and the Canadian robotic arm, SSRMS, with a crew of seven to the International Space Station
