About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At the mate/demate device at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, Atlantis is lifted up from the shuttle carrier aircraft, or SCA. The SCA is backed away from the mate/demate device. Visible on Atlantis is the tail cone that covers and protects the main engines during the ferry flight. The orbiter will be lowered to the ground and then towed to the Orbiter Processing Facility to begin processing for its next launch, mission STS-122 in December.
