A crawler began carrying space shuttle Atlantis back to the Vehicle Assembly Building just before dawn this morning, clearing the way for Endeavour to move to Launch Pad 39A on Saturday. The rollback began at 6:48 a.m. EDT.
The rollback to the VAB at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center will take about six hours with the crawler registering a speed of less than 1 mile per hour. The move was required when Atlantis’ mission to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope was postponed because of technical issues the Hubble developed in space.
Atlantis will be parked inside the VAB until NASA managers set a new target launch date for the STS-125 mission.
