T-minus 20 minutes and counting. The countdown has resumed after a 10-minute hold. Clocks will tick down for the next 11 minutes to T-minus 9 minutes where the final planned hold is scheduled to occur. The hold length will be adjusted to synch up with today's preferred launch time of 11:14:55 a.m.
Atlantis' onboard computers are now transitioning to the Major Mode-101 program, the primary ascent software. Also, engineers are dumping the Primary Avionics Software System (PASS) onboard computers. The data that is dumped from each of PASS computers is compared to verify that the proper software is loaded aboard for launch.

Thanks for the ping Kevin. Heard a funny joke about Atlantis. They call it the "penguin" at NASA because it never flies. Hope today is different.

Now one hour away from launch of Atlantis.
And Mission Control in Houston is loading Atlantis' onboard computers with the proper guidance parameters based on the projected launch time.
