KENNEDY SPACE CENTER -- After two days of prelaunch mission practice at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the six astronauts returned to Johnson Space Center in Houston. There, they will continue training and perform projects for Atlantis' upcoming flight to the International Space Station.
The crew will return to KSC to complete the countdown test Nov. 2 and 3. They will also participate in a launch countdown exercise, safety briefings and payload bay walkdown.
Meanwhile at Kennedy's Launch Pad 39A, technicians continue to check systems to verify there was no damage to the space shuttle from a lightning strike at the pad last week. So far no damage has been found.
Also at the pad Wednesday, workers tested the solid rocket booster hydraulic system and completed the shuttle interface test -- which means confirming the various components and connections are "talking" to each other.
The agency's review for the STS-129 mission is set for Oct. 29 at Kennedy. Afterward, NASA will announce an official launch date and broadcast a post-meeting briefing on NASA TV.
