This image made earlier of another liquid oxygen tank being manufactured for weld confidence testing shows how domes are added to make tanks in the Vertical Assembly Center at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. A dome is positioned in a feeder, left, and is added to the barrel at the bottom of the assembly Center, right. Two domes, two rings, and two barrels are joined to make a liquid oxygen fuel tank for the Space Launch System.
