KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The belly of Atlantis can be seen as the orbiter, suspended vertically above the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building, is slowly lifted up into the upper regions for transfer to high bay 1. The orbiter will then be lowered onto the mobile launcher platform where the external tank and solid rocket boosters are already stacked. Space Shuttle Atlantis is targeted to roll out to Launch Pad 39A on February 14 for mission STS-117. The mission is No. 21 to the International Space Station and construction flight 13A.
