Space shuttle Atlantis ready for rollback

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Oct. 15 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency says space shuttle Atlantis is ready to be moved from Launch Pad 39A to the Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's shuttle will be moved early Monday to await launch on its mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.

Atlantis was scheduled to lift off last Friday but that was postponed when a system that transfers science data from the orbiting observatory to Earth malfunctioned. A new target launch date hasn't been announced.

NASA Television will provide live coverage of Atlantis' rollback beginning 6:30 a.m. EDT Monday.

The next space shuttle flight will be space shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission to the International Space Station, targeted for launch Nov. 14. Endeavour is scheduled Oct. 25 to move from Launch Pad 39B to launch Pad 39A.
