Space shuttle Atlantis moves to launch pad
NASA?s space shuttle Atlantis moved out to its Florida launch pad Thursday to prepare for one last flight to the Hubble Space Telescope next month after weather concerns related to Tropical Storm Hanna eased at the seaside spaceport.
Space shuttle Discovery, bereft of the components that allow her to fly and to maneuver in space was moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building so that the Orbiter Processing Facility that the orbiter was occupying can be used to begin the decommissioning process of Atlantis when that shuttle returns next Thursday.
