About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Reflected in the nearby pool of water, Space Shuttle Atlantis, propelled by the crawler-transporter, arrives on the hard stand on Launch Pad 39B. Atop the fixed service structure at right can be seen the 80-foot lightning mast that helps provide lightning protection. The slow speed of the crawler results in a 6- to 8-hour trek to the pad approximately 4 miles away. Atlantis' launch window begins Aug. 27 for an 11-day mission to the International Space Station.
