Live at KSC: Atlantis gets final go for flight

The launch director, Doug Lyons, has polled the team and everyone is "go to launch."

15 minutes until the target liftoff time.

"Atlantis is ready to fly. All systems are go," Lyons just told Commander Steve Frick aboard Atlantis.

"Thanks very much Doug from the crew. We know the Columbus module has been many years in the making," Frick said, adding a thank you to the crews at the Kennedy Space Center for fixing the fuel sensor problems that scrubbed December's attempt.

The count will resume at 3:36 p.m., with 9 minutes to go until liftoff.
