On Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a worker checks for distance between the bottom of the mobile launcher platform and the top of the mount mechanism as space shuttle Atlantis is prepared to roll off the pad. Atlantis sits on the mobile launcher platform, which in turn rests on the crawler-transporter. Atlantis is rolling back to the Vehicle Assembly Building to await launch on its STS-125 mission to repair 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. The rollback is expected to take approximately six hours.
