Amazing pic, but where’s the orbiter? Have they not brought it out yet?
It’s there, it’s just hidden by the big gantry to the left of the main fuel tank and solid rocket booster. It encloses the shuttle as it sits on the pad, protecting it and giving the ground crews easy access to everything, then it swings out of the way as launchtime approaches. If you look on the ground around the pad, you can see a circular track – the moving gantry pivots on that.
