About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Space Shuttle Atlantis, atop the mobile launcher platform and crawler-transporter, slowly makes its way up the ramp to the hardstand on Launch Pad 39A. At left is the fixed service structure, with the 80-foot lightning mast on top, and the open rotating service structure. Between them is the water tower, containing 300,000 gallons of water used for sound suppression at liftoff. First motion of the shuttle out of the Vehicle Assembly Building was at 8:19 a.m.
