Titre : Space Shuttle Atlantis is framed by palms and winterstripped branches as it wends

Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)

(01/19/2001) -- Space Shuttle Atlantis is framed by palms and winter-stripped branches as it wends its way from Launch Pad 39A back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. Atlantis is rolling back to the VAB 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. 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
