Detail of the turbine discharge (at right) and the steam exhaust duct.

After steam from the steam generator flows through the turbine to power the turbopump, it is exhausted through a heat exchanger (to heat LOX into gaseous oxygen to pressurize the LOX tank) and then vented overboard through the aft end of the tail unit.
