About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- Clouds on the horizon seem to wait for their rival Space Shuttle Atlantis as it churns billows of steam and smoke after launch. The perfect on-time liftoff of Atlantis on mission STS-106 occurred at 8:45:47 a.m. EDT. On the 11-day mission to the International Space Station, the seven-member crew will perform support tasks on orbit, transfer supplies and prepare the living quarters in the newly arrived Zvezda Service Module.
