CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Space shuttle Atlantis on Sunday was moved from the launch pad back to a hangar so technicians can inspect damage caused by an hail storm and determine what kind of repairs should be made.
The 3.4-mile journey aboard the massive crawler-transporter took about seven hours.
It was the 17th time in the 26-year-old shuttle program that one of the vehicles had to be moved back to the Vehicle Assembly Building from the launch pad.
