Recovery activities ramp up, supplies, support equipment and contractors arrive on the Launch Platform for repairs and replacements as required. Here, the Odyssey's large yellow crane returns to operation after some cable repairs. While the bright yellow paint is obviously tarnished, the efficient function of the crane is a welcome support to recovery operations.

Scaffolding equipment is strategically placed at various locations on the launch deck.

Ladders are situated between the two great liquid oxygen tanks.

A mix of new cable and old pipes is gathered at the stern of the launch deck.
