Title:
STS-36 Atlantis, OV-104, leaves VAB during its rollout to KSC LC Pad 39A
Description:
Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, is blocked by its large orange external tank (ET) as it leaves Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) during its rollout to Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39A. The crawler transporter heads along the specially designed roadway with OV-104, the ET, and two solid rocket boosters mounted on top of a mobile launcher platform. KSC facilities including the VAB and Launch Control Center (LCC) are visible in the background. OV-104 heads to LC Pad 39A after the shortest stay in the VAB since return-to-flight. OV-104 is being prepared for launch on STS-36, a Department of Defense (DOD) dedicated mission. View provided by KSC with alternate KSC number KSC-90PC-134.
