In the Vehicle Assembly Building, the orbiter Discovery (viewed from behind the Space Shuttle Main Engines, port side) is raised to a vertical position in order to be mated with the external tank. The orbiter displays the recently painted NASA logo, termed the "meatball," on its left, or port, wing. The logo also has been painted on both sides of the aft fuselage. Discovery (OV-103), the first of the orbiters to be launched with the new art work, is scheduled for its 25th flight, from Launch Pad 39B, on Oct. 29, 1998, for the STS-95 mission KSC-98pc1066

STS106-S-013 (8 September 2000)--- This view of shock-wave condensation collars backlit by the Sun occurred during the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis on September 8, 2000.  The scene was captured on 35mm motion picture film.  One frame was digitized to make this still image.  Although the primary effect is created by the forward fuselage of the Atlantis, secondary effects can be seen on the solid rocket booster (SRB) forward skirt, shuttle vertical stabilizer and wing trailing edge, behind the Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSME).  The perfect on-time launch took place at 8:45:47 a.m. (EDT), September 8, 2000.   Onboard the shuttle were astronauts Terrence W. Wilcutt, Scott D. Altman, Edward T. Lu,  Richard A. Mastracchio and Daniel C. Burbank, along with cosmonauts Yuri I. Malenchenko and Boris V. Morukov who represent the Russian Aviation and Space Agency. STS106-s-013
