KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - In the White Room on Launch |
|
Pad 39B, STS-115 Mission Specialist Joseph Tanner gets |
|
help with his launch suit from the closeout crew before |
|
entering Space Shuttle Atlantis. Tanner is making his |
|
fourth shuttle flight. During the mission, Atlantis' |
|
astronauts will deliver and install the 17.5-ton, bus- |
|
sized P3/P4 integrated truss segment on the station. The |
|
girder-like truss includes a set of giant solar arrays, |
|
batteries and associated electronics and will provide one- |
|
fourth of the total power-generation capability for the |
|
completed station. This mission is the 116th space |
|
shuttle flight, the 27th flight for orbiter Atlantis, and |
|
the 19th U.S. flight to the International Space Station. |
|
STS-115 is scheduled to last 11 days with a planned |
|
landing at KSC. |
