That's the crawler that had been waiting to pick-up MLP-1 at 39B to haul it to VAB HB1. But now that Atlantis is going back to VAB HB1 that will have to be rescheduled.

Still to early to be determined. Everything should get much clearer once Atlantis is back in the VAB and a detailed assesment of the damages have been done.

Hi,
I'm new to this site. My name is James. I work as a photographer, and was in Florida a few weeks ago for Atlantis' rollout. I noticed on a few of my photos what appears to be "dings" on the lower part of the ET. I have been wondering if Nasa was planning on repairing these spots at the pad, or were they going to fly with the ET in that condition. You can see what I'm talking about from the photos I shot on my site:
http://www.freewebs.com/robmed/atlantisrollout1.htm ( You'll have to skip the ad when you get there, I've used a lot of bandwidth this month ). Is it common to launch with the ET in this condition? I wouldn't think so.

I think this is what you're referring to:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6621&mid=113100#M113100By the way, the photo of yours with the bird... is that bird real? There is another photo from another photographer with that bird in the exact same pose.
EDIT :: That link doesn't take you to the right place. Go to page 18 of that thread and scroll down a bit (post by TJL). Sorry about that.

Short answer. No, it would not launch in that condition. Repairs in the VAB (hopefully), if not, change to the next tank to arrive in April.

So just to round up. Which MLP is on the way to pick up Atlantis and is there another MLP outside 39B?

You mean Crawlers. The MLPs(Mobile Launcher Platforms) are just the mobile platforms on which the "stack" is mounted on.
The one that used to be waiting outside 39B to pick-up MLP-1 used for the STS-116/12A.1 launch has been relocated to outside 39A to pick-up MLP-2 with Atlantis.

Dave,
I know how to read. The area in question is on the right front of the tank, just in front of the wing. TJL was speaking of the area on the botton rear of the tank. Two different things. Yes, the bird was real. There were 3 of us photographing the same bird.

As mentioned, there will be no repairs at the pad, period.
