About this work

Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — One of the crawler engineers is seen inside the cab on the corner of the crawler transporter. The crawler is moving the Space Shuttle Atlantis and mobile launcher platform 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.
