OV-104 (cn OV-104) Atlantis rolled out from the VAB to the Launch Complex 39A on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, at 6.38 a.m. EDT in a slow drive (0.8 miles per hour) on the top of the Crawler-transporter. The 3.4-mile (5.5 km) rollout was completed with the launch platform secured in place at about 1:31 p.m EDT. Here she approches the pad superstructure which sit on top of concrete hill. The laser leveling keeps "the stack" level on the mobile launch platform (MLP) which is deposited onto supports before the crawler backs away to safety. |

OV-104 (cn OV-104) "Atlantis" was towed from her hangar in Orbiter Processing Facility-1 to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) on 6 October, 2009 at about 7 a.m. EDT. The move, known as rollover, was competed at 8:25 a.m. when Atlantis arrived in the VAB transfer aisle. Here she sits awaiting the completion of the detailed photography that is used as reference to make sure that no damage happens to her during takeoff. These reference photos are compared with those taken in Space to identify potentially catastrophic damage. |

OV-104 (cn OV-104) Shuttle Atlantis sits on Launch Pad 39A (foreground) with Endeavour in the background, in preparation for STS-125, the final mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. Endeavour is to be ready to launch as a rescue shuttle within one week of Atlantis, as this is the only post-Columbia shuttle mission not going to the space station. It is the last planned time two shuttles will occupy the pads at the same time, and only the third time ever both are visible with launch towers retracted. |
