About this work

S79-35236 (23 July 1979) --- The space shuttle orbiter 101 Enterprise is seen in this high angle view as it is being moved from Pad A, Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). Though only 3.5 miles separate the launch pad and the VAB, the journey of the orbiter, its solid rocket boosters and external tank takes more than 11 hours.
