In the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the sling is removed from space shuttle Atlantis before its return to the Orbiter Processing Facility. Atlantis was removed from its external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters stack after the delay of its STS-125 mission to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Atlantis' targeted launch on Oct. 14 was delayed when a system that transfers science data from the orbiting observatory to Earth malfunctioned on Sept. 27. The new target launch date is under review.
