Live at KSC: Astronauts check out Atlantis














Commander Frick addresses NASA managers.

Atlantis' crew has completed their traditional inspection of the underside of the orbiter, which spent 12 days, 18 hours, 21 minutes and 55 seconds in orbit.

"Good morning or afternoon, I'm not really sure," said Atlantis Commander Steve Frick, commenting on the beautiful weather in Florda.

"It looked just as nice from on high."

Frick complimented the Kennedy Space Center workers who prepared Atlantis.

"Everything worked pefectly," said Frick. "We got everything done that we hoped to get done."

The astronauts planned to visit their families in crew quarters.

"Both the mission and the trainig is very tough on the families," said Frick.
