About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At the mate/demate device at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, technicians begin the process of detaching the lifting crane from Atlantis. Visible on Atlantis is the tail cone that covers and protects the main engines during the ferry flight. The orbiter will be towed to the Orbiter Processing Facility to begin processing for its next launch, mission STS-122 in December.
