NASA'S SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS PREPARES TO ROLL TO LAUNCH PAD
NASA's space shuttle Atlantis is set to embark on a four-mile journey
to Launch Pad 39-B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla. on Monday,
July 31. First motion is scheduled for 12:01 a.m. EDT. Atlantis'
launch window begins Aug. 28 for an 11-day mission to the
International Space Station.
The fully assembled space shuttle vehicle, consisting of the orbiter,
external tank and twin solid rocket boosters, will be mounted on a
mobile launcher platform and delivered to the pad via a crawler
transporter. The process is expected to take approximately six hours.
NASA TV will provide live coverage of the roll out beginning at 6 a.m.
EDT as Atlantis approaches the launch pad. Video highlights of the
rollout will air on NASA TV's Video File segments. For NASA TV
