Space shuttle Atlantis was expected to lift off Sept. 6, 2006 at 12:29 p.m. EDT. It was postponed due to a electrical short in the shuttle's fuel cell coolant motor. When it launches, the crew's mission is to carry equipment to resume assembly on the International Space Station. It's the first time they've worked on the ISS in four years.
Since the Mission Control Center is at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Fayrouz and I visited Space Center Houston to get some file photos.
