KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- This long view in the Space Station Processing Facility shows the lineup of elements in various stages of preparation for future flights. In the middle of the floor are white boxes housing storage gas tanks. Part of the STS-104 payload, the two gaseous oxygen and two gaseous nitrogen tanks comprise the high pressure gas assembly that will be attached to the Joint Airlock Module during two spacewalks. The tanks will support future spacewalk operations from the Station and augment the Service Module gas resupply system. For launch, scheduled no earlier than June 14 at 4:11 p.m. EDT, the tanks will be placed on the Spacelab Logistics Double Pallet at left
