Liberty Star picks up rocket booster from Space Shuttle
Two reusable solid rocket boosters that helped propel Atlantis on the nation's 135th and final shuttle flight should be back on the Space Coast today. A special water cannon salute welcomed the Liberty Star as it cruised into Port Canaveral on Sunday with the shuttle's right solid rocket booster in tow. The Freedom Star and the left-hand booster were expected to be in port late Sunday or early today. NASA and manufacturer ATK offload boosters at Hangar AF at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. There, the boosters are put in stands and engineers and technicians make certain they are safe for workers to handle.
