Boeing technicians remove the cover from a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) in the Space Station Processing Facility at KSC. The CMG will be attached to the Integrated Truss Structure (ITS) Z1. Gyroscopes are used for stabilization of the International Space Station (ISS). The CMG and Z1, part of the construction of the ISS, will be carried on STS-92, the third U.S. flight planned for on-orbit construction of the ISS. STS-92 is scheduled for liftoff on June 17, 1999, aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis
