At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the loading of about 500,000 gallons of liquid propellants into space shuttle Atlantis' external tank is complete. Now in "stable replenish," the tank will be continuously topped off until the final minutes of the countdown.

The countdown clock is holding at T-3 hours for two hours and 30 minutes. Liftoff of space shuttle Atlantis on the STS-125 mission remains on schedule for 2:01 p.m. EDT from Launch Pad 39A.
