| Title |
STS-36 Atlantis, OV-104, passes a US flag as it rolls out to KSC LC Pad 39A |
| Description |
Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, its external tank (ET), and two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) mounted atop the mobile launcher platform continue the 3.4 mile journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39A via the crawler transporter. In the foreground a United States (U.S.) flag flaps in the breeze as the transporter crosses the causeway which spans a nearby waterway. A LC pad is visible in the distant background. OV-104 heads for the launch pad after the shortest stay in the Vehicle Assembly Building (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-147. |
