The Russian Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft that will transport ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano to the International Space Station is rolled out onto launchpad number one at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
This rocket will be launched on Saturday 20 July, marking the start of Luca’s second space mission known as Beyond.
In the lead-up to liftoff, component parts of a Soyuz spacecraft are brought to Kazakhstan to be assembled. Once the rocket is ready, it is loaded onto a train and transported to the launchpad.
The rollout happens in the morning, two days ahead of launch day. It is considered bad luck for the crew to witness this rollout or see the rocket again before the day of their launch, though the rollout is witnessed by the backup crew and support teams.
When the train arrives at its destination on the launchpad, the rocket is put into position. When it is fully lifted, four green arms ensure it is secured correctly for liftoff. These arms will mechanically rotate away to release the rocket at the time of launch.
After the rocket has been secured, the service structure containing the stairs and elevator as well as the umbilical towers that provide fuel and liquid oxygen, are erected.

The Soyuz TMA-15M spacecrCorvajaaft is rolled out by train, on 21 November 2014, from the MIK 40 integration facility to the Baikonur Cosmodrome launch pad 31, in Kazakhstan.
The launch of the Soyuz rocket to the International Space Station (ISS) with Expedition 42/43 ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, Roscosmos commander Anton Shkaplerov and Terry Virts of NASA, is scheduled on 23 November at 20:59 GMT (21:59 CET).
Samantha was assigned to the Futura mission more than two years ago and has travelled the world training on all the elements of the most complex machine ever built: the International Space Station. She learnt how to control the Station’s robotic arms, how to handle any emergency and how to perform all the scientific experiments she will run for the scientists on Earth.

Ariane 5 VA 260 with Juice, start of rollout on Tuesday 11 April.
Juice is being prepared to launch from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on 13 April 2023.
Juice – JUpiter ICy moons Explorer – is humankind’s next bold mission to the outer Solar System. This ambitious mission will characterise Ganymede, Callisto and Europa with a powerful suite of remote sensing, geophysical and in situ instruments to discover more about these compelling destinations as potential habitats for past or present life. Juice will monitor Jupiter’s complex magnetic, radiation and plasma environment in depth and its interplay with the moons, studying the Jupiter system as an archetype for gas giant systems across the Universe.
Following launch, Juice will embark on an eight-year journey to Jupiter, arriving in July 2031 with the aid of momentum and direction gained from four gravity-assist fly-bys of the Earth-Moon system, Venus and, twice, Earth.
Flight VA260 will be the final Ariane 5 flight to carry an ESA mission to space.

Carrying the Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle and mobile launcher, the transporter inches its way out of the Vehicle Assembly Building to the hardstand atop Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Rollout began at 12:30 p.m. EDT on May 20, 1969 and was completed at 7:46 p.m. after positioning the 12.5-million-pound load on support pedestals. The transporter carried the vehicle along the 3.5-mile crawlerway at an average speed of less than 1 mile per hour. The 363-foot-high space vehicle launched Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. on the Nation's first manned lunar landing mission on July 16, 1969.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – After space shuttle Endeavour's rollout to Launch pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 17, 2009, two different shuttles were poised on two different launch pads. Shuttle Atlantis (foreground) already was on Launch Pad 39A. Endeavour stood by at pad B in the unlikely event that a rescue mission was necessary during Atlantis' STS-125 mission to upgrade NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Atlantis launched on May 11. Endeavour was later moved to Launch Pad 39A for its STS-127 mission to the International Space Station. That flight launched July 15.

The rocket that will launch NASA’s Orion spacecraft to the Moon with the European Service Module on its way to the launchpad in Florida, USA, for its first full test before the Artemis I launch later this year.
The Space Launch Systems rocket (SLS) left the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at around 23:00 CET (22:00 GMT) on 17 March on the start of its 6.5 km trip to Launchpad LC39B.
In the preceding months the Orion spacecraft with European Service Module had been placed on top of the rocket. The first Artemis mission will send Orion to the Moon and back, farther than any human-rated spacecraft has travelled before. ESA’s European Service Module is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion, and provides everything needed to keep astronauts alive with water, oxygen, power and temperature control.

A massive 19 million pounds (8.6 million kilograms) of Space Shuttle, support and transport hardware, inch toward Launch Pad 39A from the Vehicle Assembly Building. The fully assembled Space Shuttle Endeavour, minus its payloads, weighs about 4.5 million pounds (2 million kg.); the mobile launch platform on which it was stacked and from which it will lift off weighs 9.25 million pounds (4.19 million kg.) and the crawler-transporter carrying the platform and Shuttle checks in at around 6 million pounds (2.7 million kg.). Once at the pad, the Shuttle and launch platform will be positioned atop support columns to complete preparations for the second Shuttle launch of 1995. Primary payload of Mission STS-67 is the Astro-2 astrophysics observatory, carrying three ultraviolet telescopes that flew on the Astro-1 mission in 1990. STS-67 also is scheduled to become the longest Shuttle flight to date, lasting 16 days.

The Space Shuttle Atlantis departs the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) with its destination, Launch Pad 39A, visible in the distance. The trip marked the second time Atlantis was rolled out to the pad for STS-79. The Shuttle was rolled back from Pad 39A in July due to the threat from Hurricane Bertha, and then stayed long enough to allow a swap out of its original solid rocket boosters with another set. Atlantis lifted off on Mission STS-79 on September 16, 1996.

Recently restored by the Commemorative Air Force 'Dixie Wing', P-63 Kingcobra rollouts during it's landing on completion of it's flying display.
Space Shuttle Discovery rolls out to launch pad 39A at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 20, 2010 in preparation for her final mission, STS-133.
Space Shuttle Orbiter Vehicle 101 (OV-101), "Enterprise" during rollout, September 17, 1976, at Rockwell International Space Division's orbiter assembly facility at Palmdale, California. A crowd of 2,000 NASA, congressional and industry people, and invited guests were on hand at Palmdale for the first public viewing of the DC-9 sized vehicle.
I've identified it as a Rockwell International photo due to the barely visible photo identification number at the lower right edge of the image, which looks to be like those of NAA images of Apollo spacecraft construction.
I like that the photo has only three carbon-based infestations in the immediate vicinity of the Enterprise, not the throng usually in images of this event, nor even the iconic images of the esteemed crewmembers, taken from a similar perspective. And, most importantly, no cling-ons, err...Klingons.
