Space shuttle Atlantis was moved Monday, March 23, from its Orbiter Processing facility to the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., for its upcoming servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The move from Atlantis' hanger is referred to as a "rollover." Following rollover, technicians in the Vehicle Assembly Building attach the lifting sling to Atlantis for rotating and hoisting.
