About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — On the KSC Shuttle Landing Facility, the orbiter Atlantis is moved into place under the mate/demate device. A large sling will be attached and lift the orbiter away from the shuttle carrier aircraft (SCA) underneath. The SCA carried the orbiter piggyback from California. Atlantis landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California on June 22 to end mission STS-117.
