Atlas rolled to launch pad

In preparation for its second launch attempt, the Atlas 5 rocket was transported from the Vertical Integration Facility to the pad at Cape Canaveral's Complex 41 on April 2. The rollout came a day before the rocket's scheduled liftoff on a mission to deliver into orbit the U.S. Air Force's Wideband Global SATCOM 2 satellite.
