STS-26 Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, is suspended by overhead crane and large frame attached to vehicle at four points. This high-angle view shows OV-103 during operations to accomplish its mating to two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) and an external fuel tank (ET) in the vehicle assembly building (VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). OV-103 is lifted vertically and hoisted inside the VAB for mating with the already connected ET and SRBs (in background). In less than two weeks, the combined components will be rolled to Pad 39B atop a mobile launch platform.
