Discovery Gets a Lift



After rollover from Orbiter Processing Facility 3 to the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building, space shuttle Discovery is being raised to vertical.



It will be lifted into High Bay 1 where it will be mated to the external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters already installed on the mobile launcher platform.
