Description: A Crawler-Transporter carrying a mobile launch platform (MLP). In turn, the MLP is supporting Space Shuttle Atlantis and Atlantis's solid rocket boosters and external tank. As seen on January 26, 2001, Atlantis is being moved to launch pad 39A in preparation for STS-98. This photograph (facing east from the top of the Vehicle Assembly Building) shows the Crawler near the beginning of its 3.4 mile (5.5 km) trip down the crawlerway. Launch pad 39A is visible on the horizon at left. During STS-98, Atlantis delivered the Destiny Laboratory Module to the International Space Station.
