KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The first Space Shuttle vehicle destined to fly in space arrives at its launch site, Pad A at Complex 39, following a 3.5-mile move from the Vehicle Assembly Building where the vehicle was assembled. The rollout of the STS-1 vehicle - consisting of America's first reusable spaceship, Columbia, the external propellant tank and twin solid rocket boosters - from the VAB to the launch pad is a major milestone in the series of events that will lead to its scheduled liftoff in March 1981.
