{description}   KSC Shuttle Operations Manager Loren J. Shriver (right) transfers
                the Olympic flame to KSC runner Joanne Maceo's torch at the top
                of Launch Pad 39A after he carried the Olympic torch to the top
                of the pad as his contribution to the July 7, 1996 KSC Olympic
                torch relay effort. Jon Granston of the Atlanta Committee for the
                Olympic Games (center) witnesses the exchange. Maceo then carried
                her lit torch down the concrete hard stand of the pad to pass the
                flame to another of the 20-member KSC runner team that
                participated in the KSC relay effort. The Olympic torch arrived
                at KSC at 1:40 p.m. and traveled a 20-mile course to the pad and
                then out to the KSC visitor Center. The Space Shuttle Atlantis is
                behind the trio, poised for the STS-79 mission, with will feature
                the fourth docking of the shuttle with the Russian Mir space
                station.
