Five of the six astronauts for space shuttle Atlantis' STS-129 mission to the International Space Station now are at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for training related to their launch dress rehearsal, the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test, or TCDT.

Except for Mission Specialist Leland Melvin, the crew arrived at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility in four T-38 training jets at 11:24 a.m. EDT. Melvin is on the way to Kennedy on a NASA G2 jet.
