- Description
-
Here we see the shuttle Atlantis on pad 39-A one day before the launch of the Hubble Servicing Mission 4. It's just before sunset and we see the shuttle just free of the protective "Rotating Service Structure (RSS)" which has just been pivoted off to the left. The large water tank to the right of the launch pad is part of the sound suppression water system. For more info on Launch Complex 39, see science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/technology/sts-newsref/sts-lc39.html
