About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Atlantis sits on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida after rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building. The shuttle sits atop the mobile launcher platform, which is carried by the crawler-transporter beneath. Beyond the shuttle on the horizon is the Atlantic Ocean. At left, behind the shuttle, is the 300,000-gallon water tower which releases water over the pad for sound suppression during liftoff. First motion was at 3:54 a.m.
