Space shuttle Atlantis now is in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida. It was moved from the orbiter processing facility Friday night and arrived in the VAB at 11:05 p.m. EDT.
Atlantis was attached to its external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters over the weekend and after additional preparations are made, the shuttle is scheduled to roll out to Launch Pad 39A at 12:01 a.m. EDT Saturday.
The seven astronauts who will fly Atlantis to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope during the STS-125 mission will resume training Monday at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The crew will be practicing spacewalking telescope repair procedures.
Atlantis is targeted to launch Oct. 8 at 1:34 a.m. EDT.
