About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At least one bird retreats from the blazing space shuttle Atlantis as it roars into the sky on mission STS-122 to the International Space Station. The fiery trail reflects its light in the nearby lagoon waters. Liftoff was on time at 2:45 p.m. EST. The launch is the third attempt for Atlantis since December 2007 to carry the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory to the International Space Station.
