CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Atlantis'
six astronauts wrapped up their
work in orbit Sunday as scientists gloated
over the amount of data collected during
the 11-day mission to map ozone in
the Earth's atmosphere.

"We've got some science teams here
that are quite well-fed," said NASA mission
scientist Tim Miller.
The shuttle's scheduled landing Monday
morning at the Kennedy Space Center
was threatened by Tropical Storm
Gordon. NASA sent the astronauts' families
to California on Sunday to await a
probable landing there.
Two other space shuttles have been
diverted to the desert runways at Edwards
Air Force Base in California in
the past two months because of storms.
Atlantis' first landing opportunity was
around 7:30 a.m. EST Monday at
Kennedy.

tare for return
said flight director Jeff Bantle. "There
are going to be low clouds. There's going
to be rain. There's going to be galeforce
wind."
The outlook for Tuesday was just as
bad. Good weather was forecast for Ed
wards; Ban tie said the shuttle could land
there later Monday morning if needed.
Atlantis had enough power to stay
in orbit until Tuesday, possibly Wednesday
if extreme conservation measures
were taken, said mission operations director
Lee Briscoe.
It costs about $1 miflion to transport
a shuttle back to Kennedy atop a modified
Boeing 747 jumbo jet. NASA also
loses a week in getting the shuttle ready
for its next flight.
Atlantis isn't scheduled to fly again
until late May or early June but that is
to be 1995's biggest mission, the first
shuttle docking with Russia's space station,
Mir. NASA has to install a docking
mechanism on Atlantis as soon as
it returns to Kennedy.
