    • Description: For the first time in Space Shuttle history, a fully stacked Shuttle – Atlantis – moves into high bay 2 (on the west side) of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). The VAB and nearby rock- paved crawlerway have recently undergone major modifications to provide Shuttle flight hardware more storage space and protection – “Safe Haven” - from hurricanes or tropical storms. Atlantis began moving out of VAB high bay 1 on the east side at 2:59 a.m. EDT. After the successful Safe Haven fit check, Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to roll out to Launch Pad 39B in preparation for the STS-106 launch on Sept. 8.
