T-minus 9 minutes and counting! The Ground Launch Sequencer is now actively running this final phase of today's countdown to launch space shuttle Atlantis at 11:14:55 a.m. EDT.

T-minus 7 minutes, 30 seconds. The Ground Launch Sequencer has started pulling the orbiter access arm away from the crew hatch on the port side of the vehicle. The arm was the passage way for the astronauts to board Atlantis a few hours ago. The arm can be re-extended very quickly should the need arise later in the countdown.

T-minus 6 minutes, 20 seconds. Pilot Chris Ferguson has been asked by Orbiter Test Conductor Jeff Lauffer to pre-start the orbiter Auxiliary Power Units. This procedure readies the three APU's for their activation after the countdown passes T-minus 5 minutes.
