As expected, the Rollout''''maneuver was successfully completed during the previous day. Transport of Discovery began with a bit of progress but hovering 10:00 am English, so in the first images that could be seen on NASA TV the sun had not yet gone out into the horizon.
The charge of moving the Discovery, assembly and its external fuel tank and two solid rocket Throttle, as always, was his famous track transport, better known as''crawler.''
Once the shuttle reached the launch pad crawler was removed and the RSS (Rotating Service Structure), a estrucrutura five stories high, made a 120 degree turn to go up on the shuttle and thus access to the cellar of load.
leave here a little video of the rollout of Discovery: Discovery Rollout
