Night falls on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida following rollback of the pad's rotating service structure, or RSS, revealing space shuttle Atlantis in all its glory. The RSS is retracted in preparation for Atlantis' liftoff on the STS-125 mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
