STS-129 Prelaunch Update

NASA Television will air a Prelaunch News Conference no earlier than 11 a.m. EST, at the conclusion of the L-2 Mission Management Team meeting. The briefing also will be available on the Web at www.nasa.gov/ntv.

The weather forecast for launch day, according the shuttle weather officer Kathy Winters, is looking very favorable for both launch and fueling of the shuttle's external tank.

There is only a 10-percent chance that weather will hinder any launch-related activities for Atlantis' Monday's 2:28 p.m. liftoff to the International Space Station.
