About this work

Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The massive mobile launcher platform and Space Shuttle Atlantis above it nearly dwarf the crawler-transporter below them. The crawler alone is 20 feet high. 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.
