Launch Pad 39A
A backhoe is used during repair work under way on the flame trench on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Damage to the trench occurred during the launch of Discovery on the STS-124 mission. A 75- by 20-foot section of the east wall was destroyed and debris scattered as far as the pad perimeter fence. Repairs are to be completed before the targeted Oct. 8 launch of Atlantis on the STS-125 mission.
