Atlantis completes rollback trip

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Oct. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency Monday completed the "rollback" of space shuttle Atlantis from its Kennedy Space Center launch pad to the Vehicle Assembly Building.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration spacecraft was to have been launched Oct. 10 on a mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. But that mission was indefinitely postponed when a malfunction occurred in a system that transfers science data from the orbiting observatory to Earth. A new target launch date hasn't been announced.

NASA said the next space shuttle flight will be space shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission to the International Space Station, targeted for launch Nov. 14.
