Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(01/19/2001) -- Viewed from the 235-foot level of the Fixed Service Structure on Launch Pad 39A, Space Shuttle Atlantis is seen looming above the pad. Traveling about 1 mph on the crawler-transporter, Atlantis is making the 3.4-mile trek back to the Vehicle Assembly Building so that workers can conduct inspections, make continuity checks and conduct X-ray analysis on the 36 solid rocket booster 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
