This (Figure 14) shows the first tank at the New Orleans, Michoud plant. It will be used on the first flight. You can see the thermal protection system on the tank very clearly in this picture.

This (Figure 15) is not a flight booster but it is the fourth development motor that we test fired out in Utah.

This picture (Figure 17) shows something that happened yesterday at KSC. We rolled the Enterprise out of the VAB for a trial run going to the pad with a complete stack. This is the same stack that we used at the Marshall Space Flight Center for the ground vibration testing. The difference is that it has been assembled with Cape ground supporting equipment on a mobile launcher. The crawler is being exercised and we are going to tow it out to the pad to verify the attachments, the clearances of the towers and that sort of thing.
