A vantage point high atop the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) shrinks the size and scale of the orbiter Atlantis as it is rolled from the Orbiter Processing Facility to the VAB. During the five working days shuttles spent inside the huge building, they were mated to the external tank/twin solid rocket booster assembly, and then rolled out to the Launch Pad. In the VAB, the SPACEHAB Double Modules were installed in the orbiter's payload bay.
