There is an elevator that you can climb up once you pulled it down. Search for debris opposite of the Shuttle and use your Pullcaster to get rid of it, bringing down the elevator.

Climb the Elevator

Once the elevator has been pulled down, you can start to climb up to the top of the structure. It helps to change Climbing Annotations to On during this section, as many of the scalable surfaces can be hard to see.

Head Towards the Launch Shuttle.

Shoot the Cables Holding the Launch Shuttle
