About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a sling supports space shuttle Atlantis during preparations to release it from its transporter. Next, Atlantis will be rotated to a vertical position, lifted over a transom and lowered onto a mobile launch platform in high bay 1. It then will be attached to an external fuel tank and pair of solid rocket boosters already secured to the platform.
