Atlantis, carried atop the crawler transporter, departed for Launch Pad 39B at 11:20 p.m.,
Aug. 13, following a successful fit check in the newly refurbished VAB high bay 2.
Atlantis was hard down at the pad at 9:30 a.m. Monday. Launch pad validations are complete, and standard Shuttle main engine flight
readiness testing is ongoing. Workers are installing the SPACEHAB payload into the
orbiter's payload bay today. The seven-member flight crew arrived at KSC last night at
about 7 p.m. to participate in Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities through
