RSS Rollback
On Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians in the rotating service structure's control booth begin to roll the structure from space shuttle Discovery. First motion was at 5:06 a.m. EDT.
The service structure provides weather protection and access to the space shuttle at the launch pad.
