Space Shuttle Pre-Launch Processing
There’s a great series of images at PicDit showing shuttle processing, from arrival and integration of major components to transportation to the launch site to the launch itself.
Here’s a bit of trivia: the transporter/crawler that delivers the shuttle to the pad travels the 3.5 mile distance in a little over 8 hours. I think I was driving behind it on Academy Boulevard today. It had its blinker on the whole way.
