About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At the mate/demate device at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, work begins to lower Atlantis to the ground. In the background, a towing device is used to back the shuttle carrier aircraft, or SCA, away from the device. When the orbiter is lowered to the ground it will be towed to the Orbiter Processing Facility to begin processing for its next launch, mission STS-122 in December.
