Space Shuttle Program managers are watching the forecast of Tropical Storm Hanna as they consider the best time to roll Atlantis to Launch Pad 39A. NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, which is the launch site of NASA’s shuttle fleet, is under Hurricane Condition Four, the lowest hurricane alert level.

Atlantis could be rolled to the pad as early as Thursday, depending on the path and strength of Hanna. NASA and Air Force weather officials are also keeping tabs on Tropical Storm Ike.

Launch target remains:
2008, October 7, 2234 PDT, Tuesday
2008, October 8, 0134 EDT, Wednesday
2008, October 8, 0534 UTC, Wednesday
