NASA Press Release
APL press release Space.com Article Coming up... October: communications checks November: hydrazine loading and Atlas V countdown rehearsal December: integration with Atlas V January: LAUNCH!  No pictures on the KSC webcams yet.  But still pictures here.   Is that the flight RTG attached to the spacecraft?  Or just a dummy?
