The space shuttle Atlantis is undergoing preparations in the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center for its STS-125 mission, also known as SM4. It is in this facility where technicians configure the vehicle, the crew compartment and the cargo bay for flight. Atlantis' flight crew will participate in a Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT) inspection of the cargo bay in early July. Atlantis will be attached to the external fuel tank in Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building in late August before the entire stacked vehicle is rolled out to Launch Pad 39A.
