Title:
STS-36 Atlantis, OV-104, begins its roll out to KSC LC Pad 39A
Description:
This high angle view captures Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, its external tank (ET), and solid rocket boosters (SRBs) atop the mobile launcher platform leaving the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) (a corner of the VAB is visible at the left). OV-104 in launch configuration is just beginning its roll out to Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39A via the crawler transporter. The transporter is hidden by the mobile launcher platform but its tracks mark the roadway. The roll out occurred after OV-104 completed the shortest stay in the VAB since return-to-flight. OV-104 is being prepared for launch on STS-36, a Department of Defense dedicated mission. View provided by KSC with alternate KSC number KSC-90PC-186.
