    • Description: On its way back from Launch Pad 39A, Space Shuttle Atlantis, towering above the vehicles on the adjacent road, makes the turn on the crawlerway leading to the Vehicle Assembly Building. In the VAB workers will conduct inspections, make continuity checks and conduct X-ray analysis on the 36 solid rocket booster cables located inside each booster's external system tunnel. An extensive evaluation of NASA's SRB cable inventory revealed conductor damage in four (of about 200) cables on the shelf. Shuttle managers decided to prove the integrity of the system tunnel cables already on Atlantis. The launch has been rescheduled no earlier than Feb. 6.
