Summary[edit]

Description
English: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Vehicle Assembly Building's High Bay 1 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Atlantis is slowly lowed by crane toward an external fuel tank and pair of solid rocket boosters secured to a mobile launcher platform. Next, Atlantis will be attached, completing the stacking operation. Rollout of the completed shuttle stack to Kennedy’s Launch Pad 39A, a significant milestone in launch processing activities, is planned for Oct. 13. Liftoff of Atlantis on its STS-129 mission to the International Space Station is targeted for 4:04 p.m. EST Nov. 12 during a 10-minute launch window.
