About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Under blue sky streaked with contrails, Space Shuttle Atlantis, atop the mobile launcher platform, is being rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (at left in the background) from Launch Pad 39A. In the VAB, the shuttle will be examined for hail damage. A severe thunderstorm with golf ball-sized hail caused divots in the giant tank's foam insulation and minor surface damage to about 26 heat shield tiles on the shuttle's left wing.
