CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Atlantis glows from surrounding lights in the mate/demate device at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Atlantis landed at Edwards on May 24, which concluded mission STS-125, after two landing opportunities at Kennedy were waved off due to weather concerns. Atlantis is being returned to Florida on a ferry flight on the SCA. Atlantis' next assignment is the STS-129 mission, targeted to launch in November 2009. Photo credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky
