About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — It's not always birds of a feather which flock together. Here, a flock of white pelicans splash down in a lagoon near KSC's Pad A of Launch Complex 39, where another 'bird' - the Space Shuttle Columbia - is poised for launch on its first voyage into orbit. The Rotating Service Structure, which houses the snug-fitting, environmentally clean 'white room' where payloads will be loaded into the orbiter's cargo bay, is shown at left in its retracted position.
