About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — On Launch Pad 39B, the crawler-transporter (below) begins rolling away with its cargo above of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and mobile launcher platform. The shuttle is rolling back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. First motion off the pad was at 10:04 a.m. EDT. The rollback is a safety precaution as the area waits for the arrival of Tropical Storm Ernesto. The storm is forecast to be bringing 58-mph to 70-mph winds in the next 24 hours.
