KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1, technicians check details for the installation of the forward reaction control system on Atlantis (behind them). The control system fits just behind the nose cone and provides the thrust for attitude (rotational) maneuvers (pitch, yaw and roll) and for small velocity changes along the orbiter axis (translation maneuvers). Processing of Atlantis is under way for mission STS-115, the 19th flight to the International Space Station. KSC-05pd2572

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Inside NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1, workers get ready to lift the sling placed round the forward reaction control system that will be installed on Atlantis. The forward reaction control system is located in the forward fuselage nose area. During ascent of the space shuttle, it provides the thrust for attitude (rotational) maneuvers (pitch, yaw and roll) and for small velocity changes along the orbiter axis (translation maneuvers).

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Inside NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1, workers move the sling into place around the forward reaction control system that will be installed on Atlantis. When ready, the shuttle equipment will be lifted for installation. The forward reaction control system is located in the forward fuselage nose area. During ascent of the space shuttle, it provides the thrust for attitude (rotational) maneuvers (pitch, yaw and roll) and for small velocity changes along the orbiter axis (translation maneuvers).

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1, technicians work on the Forward Reaction Control System (FRCS) of space shuttle Atlantis as it sits in the transfer aisle prior to installation. The FRCS provides the thrust for attitude (rotational) maneuvers (pitch, yaw and roll) and for small velocity changes along the orbiter axis (translation maneuvers). Processing of Atlantis is under way for mission STS-115, the 19th flight to the International Space Station. KSC-05pd2546

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Inside NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1, workers secure the overhead crane to the sling placed round the forward reaction control system that will be installed on Atlantis.
