Beautiful launch; no issues. The primary goals of Atlantis' flight are to bring space station flight engineer Nicole Stott back to Earth after three months in space and to deliver nearly 30,000 pounds of spare parts and equipment that would be difficult or impossible to get to the outpost after the shuttle is retired next year.

TSSN will meet at 0915 EST 27 Nov on TVH Shuttle audio in the LA area from JPL on 446.120.
