4. 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.
