NASA has announced launch windows for Space Shuttle Atlantis STS-117 to the ISS.

 

Shuttle Atlantis on pad

The window will open on the 8th of June at 23:37:59 ZULU which will be the first launch attempt. This launch window will remain open until the 12th of June. On the 12th of June, Altlantis will be stood down (with fuel offloaded) to allow for an Atlas-V Launch with classified payload from Cape Canaveral. The window for Atlantis will then re-open on the 17th of June.

Atlantis has been delayed since February due to hail damage to the external tank.
