CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Atlantis' six astronauts woke up Sunday prepared to inspect the space shuttle's thermal skin for damage as they soared toward the international space station.

NASA managers said hours after Saturday's launch that there was no obvious damage to Atlantis during liftoff. Carrying a 17 1/2-ton addition, Atlantis and its crew were scheduled to arrive at the space station on Monday to restart construction of the orbiting space lab.
