About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Perched atop its Mobile Launcher Platform, Space Shuttle Atlantis moves back to the Vehicle Assembly Building, via the crawler-transporter underneath, along the crawlerway. The water in the background is part of the Banana River. Atlantis’ return to the VAB was determined by Shuttle managers so that inspections, continuity checks and X-ray analysis can be conducted on the 36 solid rocket booster cables located inside each booster’s system tunnel.
