| Workers are making
final preparation to roll orbiter Atlantis to the Vehicle Assembly Building. Yesterday,
technicians completed closeout efforts in the orbiter's forward compartment. Weight and
center of gravity testing is also complete, and Atlantis is mated to the orbiter transport
system. The transfer begins at about 9:30 a.m. Monday. By Monday night, the orbiter will be mated to the external tank and solid
rocket boosters in VAB high bay 1. Then on Aug. 12, the entire Shuttle stack moves to high
bay 2 as part of the final safe haven fit checks. The recently completed safe haven
modification provides additional storage space in the VAB for Space Shuttle elements in
the event of a tropical storm or hurricane. The modification includes an extension of the
crawlerway to the VAB's west side. Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to roll out to Launch Pad
39B from VAB high bay 2 at about 11 p.m. on Aug. 13.
