img_1245.jpg (Recovered LOX DOME)
Detail of the second LOX dome; this photo was taken approximately 180° from the previous photos (compare the clean smudge in the rust just right of center to the same smudge in img_1251.jpg).
This view showcases the cylidrical sleeves with conical bases, used to protect the 16 inner-dome attach bolts which help attach the LOX dome to the injector. The sleeves fit into a slightly-recessed hole in the aft face of the LOX dome.
