George Diller/STS-133 NASA Commentator: From Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida,
this is Shuttle Launch Control at T-minus three hours and holding.
We have approximately one hour and 45 seconds remaining in this planned built-in hold.
And we're now in the final five hours of the countdown for the launch of the last flight
of the Space Shuttle Program and space shuttle Atlantis on STS-135.
The countdown is being controlled from Firing Room 4 at the Launch Control Center.
And we're on schedule for a liftoff targeted for 11:26 a.m.
This is the 135th launch of the Space Shuttle Program; the 33rd launch of space shuttle Atlantis;
its 12th to the International Space Station;
and overall the 37th flight to International Space Station by the space shuttle.
This is currently planned as a 12-day mission that will have the landing at Kennedy Space Center occurring on July 20.
