The orbiter will be towed to the Orbiter Processing Facility, where processing will begin for its next launch, mission STS-122 in December. In the background is the shuttle carrier aircraft, or SCA. Atlantis arrived at Kennedy Space Center atop the SCA on July 3 after it landed at Edwards Air Force Base at the end of mission STS-117.
