About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — After its overnight rollout on the crawler-transporter from the Vehicle Assembly Building, Space Shuttle Atlantis, on top of the mobile launcher platform, is reflected in the pool of water near Launch Pad 39B. As if waiting with open arms, the rotating service structure is extended outward on the pad. It will later be rotated to enclose the shuttle. The slow speed of the crawler results in a 6- to 8-hour trek to the pad approximately 4 miles away.
