After its mission was shelved this week because of a Hubble Space Telescope malfunction, shuttle Atlantis and its cargo will be returned to storage until next year.
Kennedy Space Centre technicians this weekend will begin preparations to remove the shuttle's highly sensitive cargo of science instruments early next week, while Atlantis is expected to roll back to the Vehicle Assembly Building on Oct. 20.
