About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Smoke and steam billow across Launch Pad 39A as Space Shuttle Atlantis leaps into the sky on mission STS-117 to the International Space Station. Liftoff was on-time at 7:38:04 p.m. The shuttle is delivering a new segment to the starboard side of the International Space Station's backbone, known as the truss. Three spacewalks are planned to install the S3/S4 truss segment, deploy a set of solar arrays and prepare them for operation.
