The rising sun and some scattered clouds provide a picturesque backdrop
for the Space Shuttle Discovery as it travels along the Crawlerway toward
Launch Pad 39A in preparation for the STS-83 mission. The Shuttle is on
a Mobile Launch Platform, and the entire assemblage is being carried by
a large tracked vehicle called the Crawler Transporter.
