Title : Reflecting light from framework inside the Vehicle Assembly Building
Caption :
(01/26/2001) -- Reflecting light from framework inside the Vehicle Assembly Building, Space Shuttle Atlantis begins rolling out of the VAB to Launch Pad 39A after tests were completed on the solid rocket booster cables. A prior extensive evaluation of NASA’s SRB cable inventory on the shelf revealed conductor damage in four (of about 200) cables. Shuttle managers decided to prove the integrity of the system tunnel cables already on Atlantis, causing return of the Shuttle to the VAB a week ago. Launch of Atlantis on STS-98 has been rescheduled to Feb. 7 at 6:11 p.m. EST
