NASA's Atlantis Let's Roll


Launch-39 Space shuttle Atlantis is tentatively scheduled to roll out to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 10 a.m. EDT, on Thursday, September 4. Managers will meet at 5:30 a.m. Thursday to confirm that weather conditions created by Tropical Storm Hanna will allow for the move. Atlantis is targeted to lift off October 8, on an 11-day mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA Television will provide live video of Atlantis' rollout beginning at 10 a.m. Video highlights of the rollout will air on NASA TV's Video File segments.
