STS-93 Landing
Following the landing of Space Shuttle Columbia on July 27, 1999, this
close-up view shows what appear to be three small holes in the liquid
hydrogen tubes inside the nozzle on main engine No. 3. Engineers will
examine the engine to determine if a possible hydrogen leak occurred
during the STS-93 launch on July 23. (Photo:
