About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Launch Pad 39B and Space Shuttle Atlantis glow in the dusk after the morning launch was scrubbed due to a technical concern. Atlantis was scheduled to launch at 11:41 a.m. EDT Sept. 8 but was scrubbed due to an issue with a fuel cut-off sensor system inside the external fuel tank. This is one of several systems that protect the shuttle's main engines by triggering their shutdown if fuel runs unexpectedly low.
