In this close-up, Space Shuttle Discovery sits atop the Mobile Launch Platform on Launch Pad 39-B, with the Rotating Service Structure moved back, to await rollback decision. The flag at right shows the increased wind blowing out of the south. KSC managers developed a precautionary plan to roll back Discovery to the Vehicle Assembly Building in the event that Hurricane Georges threatens Central Florida. The decision was made in order to minimize risk and provide protection to the Space Shuttle, a national asset.
