Shuttle Atlantis Moves to Launch Pad for November Flight
By Tariq Malik Managing Editor

The space shuttle Atlantis rolled out toward its Florida launch pad early Wednesday to prepare for a November liftoff, even though NASA is still unsure of exactly when the spacecraft will fly.

NASA is targeting a planned Nov. 12 launch from Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for Atlantis and a crew of seven to deliver a vital load of supplies and spare parts to the International Space Station. It will be the agency's fifth shuttle launch of the year — the most since 2002.
