About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — On Launch Pad 36-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the tower is rolled away from the Lockheed Martin Atlas/Centaur rocket prior to launch. The rocket will carry the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite-I (TDRS-I) into orbit. The second in a new series of telemetry satellites, TDRS-I replenishes the existing on-orbit fleet of six spacecraft. The TDRS System is the primary source of space-to-ground voice, data and telemetry for the Space Shuttle.
