Space Shuttle Atlantis lifted off from Kennedy Space Center and charged into the midday Florida sky on a mission to boost power on the International Space Station. The launch was on time, with liftoff at 11:15 a.m. EDT. Over the 11-day mission, the six-member crew will perform three spacewalks to install the P3/P4 integrated truss and solar arrays on the station, doubling the current power generating capability of the orbiting outpost.

Atlantis Heads for Station

The shuttle Atlantis is in orbit, headed for a challenging new phase in the construction of the International Space Station.

Commander Brent Jett and his five crewmates will install a new 17-ton segment of the station's truss backbone, adding a new set of giant solar panels and batteries to the complex. Three spacewalks are planned.

    credible news footage. The compilation contains revelations regarding

    awareness of free energy technology life beyond Earth along with the

    current and ongoing presence which is being hidden from the public + more

  • Never again will mankind be able to co-ordinate such an endeavor thanks to capitalism which has now been spread globally. The space program is far to "socialist". Perhaps one day one of the multi-nationals will find space travel profitable or maybe "socialist" China will take the reigns for future space flight. We are moving backward as a species. Oh well. Fuck it. Get me a beer.

  • @AMRiUS0211 That is part of the OMS pod also. Those are rain covers that cover the thruster throat while at the pad. They are designed to come off on launch. As you can see, just the ignition process vibrates them off.

  • Hey what are that holes for that are opening a bit after 0:11 ... beside the OMS ??

  • @ne0heavymetal  jelly roll Atlantis
