Live at KSC: Atlantis headed to launch pad

Space shuttle Atlantis is on its way to its Kennedy Space Center launch pad.

The shuttle began rolling out from the 52-story Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A at 3:54 a.m. The shuttle will be secured to the pad at approximately 11 a.m.

You can follow most of the shuttle's 3.4-mile journey live here at The Flame Trench.

NASA TV coverage will continue until the trip's conclusion. Just click the picture above to launch a NASA TV viewer, or refresh this page for updated still pictures.

Atlantis is preparing for a targeted May 12 launch on a fifth and final servicing mission of the Hubble Space Telescope, an 11-day flight that includes five spacewalks
