The Crawler-Transporter carries Space Shuttle Discovery and the Mobile Launcher Platform to Launch Pad 39B. The crawler is operated by a United Space Alliance driver, seen in the cab above the crawler tracks. The transporter uses a laser guidance system and a leveling system for the journey that keeps the top of the Space Shuttle vertical. This is the second rollout of Discovery after being returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building for connection to an improved External Tank. Launch of Discovery on its Return to Flight mission STS-114 is targeted for a launch window extending from July 13 to July 31.
