The orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pod is being installed on space shuttle Atlantis at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. OMS provides thrust for orbit insertion, rendezvous, and deorbit maneuvers, with two pods on the aft fuselage each containing an engine and propellant hardware. Pods were cleaned at White Sands Test Facility. This is part of Atlantis’ retirement and transition processing.
