Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(01/19/2001) -- Space Shuttle Atlantis , with its orange external tank and white solid rocket boosters attached, is viewed from the 235-foot level of the Fixed Service Structure on Launch Pad 39A. Atlantis is rolling back to the Vehicle Assembly Building so that workers can conduct inspections, make continuity checks and conduct X-ray analysis on the 36 SRB cables located inside each booster’s system tunnel (seen at left on the outside of the SRB). An extensive evaluation of NASA’s SRB cable inventory revealed conductor damage in four (of about 200) cables on the shelf. Shuttle managers decided to prove the integrity of the system tunnel cables already on Atlantis before launching Jan. 19. The launch has been rescheduled no earlier than Feb. 6
