| Orbiter Atlantis is
mated to the external tank and solid rocket boosters in VAB high bay 1. The Shuttle
Interface Test is ongoing from firing room 1 in the Launch Control Center. The SPACEHAB
payload was delivered to Launch Pad 39B today at 3:20 a.m. The VAB and crawlerway have recently undergone major modifications to allow
more storage space and protection – "Safe Haven" - for Shuttle flight
hardware during hurricane season.
Early Saturday, the entire Shuttle stack will move to high
bay 2 as part of a final "Safe Haven" fit check. Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled
to roll out to Launch Pad 39B from VAB high bay 2 at about 11 p.m. on Aug. 13.
