Columbia Arrives at KSC after roll over from the Orbiter Maintenance and Refurbishment Facility

Technicians monitor Columbia as it is towed via its landing gear by a ground handling vehicle. The Orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pods and space shuttle main engines (SSMEs) have been removed. Protective covers are visible on SSME ports and dome heatshield. Note the lack of TPS tiles under the payload bay doors and above the US flag.
