Lifting the Orbiter Discovery into vertical position in the VAB

S95-10529 (3 May 1995) --- Inside the cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), workers carry out the meticulous process of lifting the Orbiter Discovery from a horizontal to a vertical position. Once upright, Discovery will be transferred into a high bay for mating with the external tank and solid rocket booster assembly already mounted on the mobile launcher platform. Completing the assembly process takes about five working days. Discovery?s next destination is Launch Pad 39B, and final preparations for liftoff on mission STS-70 scheduled for June 1995.
