About this work
The orbiter Atlantis makes the turn to the Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3 after being towed from the Shuttle Landing Facility. The unusual silhouette of the aft section on the orbiter is due to the tail cone covering the aft engines. Atlantis landed Feb. 19 at Edwards Air Force Base concluding mission STS-98. The orbiter returned to Florida on the back of a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, known as a ferry flight, that began March 1.
