KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Led by the Convoy Command |
|
Center, Atlantis is towed from the Shuttle Landing |
|
Facility to the Orbiter Processing Facility. The command |
|
center is the prime vehicle to control critical |
|
communications between the orbiter, the crew and the |
|
Launch Control Center after a shuttle landing, to monitor |
|
the health of the shuttle orbiter systems and to direct |
|
convoy operations at the Shuttle Landing Facility. |
|
Atlantis landed on Runway 33 at 6:21:30 a.m. EDT after |
|
the 11-day, 19-hour, 6-minute mission STS-115 to the |
|
International Space Station. Atlantis traveled 4.9 |
|
million miles, landing on orbit 187. During the mission, |
|
astronauts delivered and installed the massive P3/P4 |
|
truss, an integral part of the station's backbone, and |
|
two sets of solar arrays that will eventually provide one |
|
quarter of the station's power. In the OPF, the process |
|
flow will begin to ready the vehicle for its next flight. |
