This aerial view captures KSC's Launch Pad 39A, with the rotating service structure closed around Shuttle Atlantis. Just visible in the center is the top of the orange-colored external tank. On the left side towers the white 80-foot fiberglass lightning mast; on the right is the 300,000-gallon water tower used for sound suppression during launch. The launch pad abuts the Atlantic Ocean on the east, seen here in the background
