At Launch Complex 39, Atlantis is awaiting further preparation for her March 15th liftoff. NASA reports:
At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Space Shuttle Atlantis has arrived at Launch Pad 39A following a slow and careful trek from the enormous Vehicle Assembly Building.
Poised atop the mobile launcher platform and carried by the crawler transporter, the shuttle assembly began the 3.4-mile journey at 8:19 a.m. and was 'hard down' at the pad at 3:09 p.m. EST.
Meanwhile, the S3/S4 integrated truss segments are scheduled to be installed in the orbiter's payload bay Feb. 19.
