Workers begin to close the payload bay doors around the cargo for space shuttle Atlantis' STS-129 mission to the International Space Station.

At Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, workers begin to close the payload bay doors around the cargo for space shuttle Atlantis' STS-129 mission to the International Space Station. The cargo includes the Express Logistics Carriers 1 and 2. The pad's Payload Changeout Room is in view at right.

The STS-129 crew will deliver two spare gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, two pump modules, an ammonia tank assembly and a spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm. Launch is set for Nov. 16. For information on the STS-129 mission, visit http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts129/index.html. Photo credit: NASA/Troy Cryder
