Atlantis now in its preliminary orbit. Commander Charlie Hobaugh will now maneuver
Atlantis so that cameras embedded in the shuttle's umbilical well can perform
photography of the discarded external fuel tank.

to capture handheld imagery of the tank for downlink a few hours from now.
A flawless climb to orbit for the shuttle Atlantis and its six crew members, on route now to the International Space Station.
