Space Shuttle Atlantis, STS-122 - LAUNCH

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- Eagerly stepping out from the Operations and Checkout Building are the STS-108 crew, leading the way, and the Expedition 4 crew as they head for Launch Pad 39B and Space Shuttle Endeavour. From front to back are, left to right, Pilot Mark E. Kelly and Commander Dominic L. Gorie; Mission Specialists Daniel M. Tani and Linda A. Godwin; Expedition 4 members Daniel W. Bursch, Commander Yuri Onufrienko and Carl E. Walz. This is the second launch attempt after the first attempt Dec. 4 was scrubbed due to poor weather conditions at KSC. The main goals of the mission are to carry the Expedition 4 crew to the International Space Station as replacement for Expedition 3; carry the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello filled with water, equipment and supplies; and install thermal blankets over equipment at the base of the ISS solar wings. STS-108 is the final Shuttle mission of 2001 and the 107th Shuttle flight overall. Launch is scheduled for 5:19 p.m. EST (22:19 GMT) Dec. 5, 2001, from Launch Pad 39B KSC01PD1783

STS-95 Pilot Steven K. Lindsey leaves the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) enroute to the Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA). He is accompanied by two suit technicians, Mike Birkenseher (left) and Paul Reylea (right). Lindsey will be practicing Shuttle landing and takeoffs at the SLF on the STA, which is designed to fly like the Shuttle, prior to launch. STS-95 is expected to launch at 2 p.m. EST on Oct. 29, last 8 days, 21 hours and 49 minutes, and land at 11:49 a.m. EST on Nov. 7 KSC-98pc1406

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- At the Operations and Checkout Building, the crew members of space shuttle mission STS-120 prepare to board the bus that will transport them to Launch Pad 39A during their terminal countdown demonstration test activities. In the left row are, from front, Pilot George Zamka and Mission Specialists Stephanie Wilson, Daniel Tani, and Scott Parazynski. In the right row are, from front, Commander Pam Melroy and Mission Specialists Doug Wheelock and Paolo Nespoli. Nespoli represents the European Space Agency. After the mission, Tani will remain aboard the International Space Station and return with the STS-122 crew, targeted to launch Dec. 6. The terminal countdown demonstration test provides astronauts and ground crews an opportunity to participate in various simulated countdown activities, including equipment familiarization and emergency training. The STS-120 mission will deliver the U.S. Node 2 module, named Harmony, aboard space shuttle Discovery to the ISS. Discovery's launch is targeted for Oct. 23 at 11:38 a.m. EDT on a 14-day mission.
