View of the stage's forward skirt.

Picture 2 of 2.

The wall of the liquid oxygen tank at aft was smooth and incorporated a Y-ring at forward, allowing attachment of the corrugated forward skirt.

The yellow framework on the forward end of the stage is not part of the forward skirt, but rather is the stage forward handling tool, a piece of ground support equipment.
