About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – On the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Atlantis is moved away from the mate/demate device where it was separated from the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, or SCA. Atlantis will be towed to Orbiter Processing Facility 1. Covering the rear of Atlantis is a tail cone, which protects the aft engine area and provides a more efficient aeronautical dimension during its piggyback flight.
