The hazy light of dawn illuminates the Space Shuttle Columbia as it arrives at Pad 39A following a six-hour move from the Vehicle Assembly Building. This is the second roll-out for the STS-9 vehicle after replacement of a nozzle on the solid rocket booster aft segment forced officials to delay the spacelab I launch. This mission was the first of a nine-day duration and had six crew members including the first European to fly aboard a United States spacecraft. The launch took place November 28, 1983. |
