June 1, 2009-- Atlantis will be hop scotching its way back to Florida after bad weather here scrubbed any chance of a KSC touchdown following NASA's final Hubble Space Telescope repair flight. After the return trip on a 747 jumbo jet, Atlantis will be prepared for a November mission commanded by astronaut Charlie Hobaugh. He was the Capcom in Houston who tried in vain in 2003 to raise the crew of Columbia by radio after the spacecraft broke apart and burned up during re-entry. After the upcoming November mission, Atlantis has only two flights left to go before being retired from the fleet.
