The orbiter Atlantis atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft departed Edwards Air 
Force Base, Calif. at 12 noon EDT and arrived at Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson,

The SCA was refueled and departed Davis-Monthan at about 2:57 p.m. en route 
to Dyess AFB, Abilene, Tx.

The orbiter/SCA landed at Dyess at about 4:55 p.m. EDT. A weather briefing 
will take place over the next hour to determine if they will remain at Dyess

to remain overnight

The earliest we expect to see the vehicle back at KSC is about 
mid-morning Friday.
