About this work
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, with its piggyback cargo the orbiter Atlantis, turns on the runway after landing at the KSC Shuttle Landing Facility. The ground vehicle near the nose will tow it to the mate/demate device to have Atlantis removed from its perch. Atlantis landed in California Feb. 19 concluding mission STS-98. The ferry flight began in California March 1; unfavorable weather conditions kept it on the ground at Altus AFB, Okla., until it could return to Florida.
