NASA wants Atlantis to launch as soon as it is ready. The launch window starts on Aug 27th. I hope to see another great launch.

The decision to confirm the launch date was made after a two-day flight readiness review. The launch window lasts until 7 September. During the review, NASA also discussed an issue regarding bolts on the shuttle that could potentially come loose. Recently, engineers discovered that two of four bolts that hold a communications antenna to Atlantis' payload bay are too short.
