STS01_v_c_o_TPMBK (unnumbered, hand annotated & labeled, rollout2)

Rollout of Orbiter Vehicle 102 (OV-102)/Columbia, 29 December 1980 in preparation for her first flight, STS-1. The view highlights the enormity of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). Note that the VAB’s Vertical Lift Doors (VLD) required only opening partially to accommodate the shuttle stack.
