CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A technician in the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, loosens a bolt to remove the segment's aft handling ring before it is moved onto a transportation and storage pallet. The segments will be used for space shuttle Atlantis on what currently is planned as the 'launch on need,' or potential rescue mission for the final shuttle flight, Endeavour's STS-134 mission.
