  Title: STS-35 Columbia, OV-102, rolls back to KSC VAB after hydrogen leak discovered
  Description:
  Kennedy Space Center (KSC) workers watch as Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 
  102, along with its external tank (ET) and two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) 
  atop the giant crawler transporter, rolls back to KSC's Vehicle Assembly 
  Building (VAB). The rollback was caused by a hydrogen leak that stopped the 
  STS-35 countdown during ET fueling, 05-29-90.  Once in the VAB, OV-102 and 
  its stack will be demated, and OV-102, with its Astronomy Laboratory 1 
  (ASTRO-1) payload aboard, will be moved to the Orbiter Processing Facility 
  (OPF) to await return to KSC Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39A.  View provided by 
  KSC with alternate number KSC-90PC-901.
