Space Shuttle Projects
A tracking camera on Launch Pad 39B of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida captures the flames of Space Shuttle Atlantis' three main engines as the Orbiter hurdles into space on mission STS-112. Liftoff occurred at 3:46 pm EDT, October 7, 2002. Atlantis carried the Starboard-1 (S1) Integrated Truss Structure and the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) Cart A. The S1 was the second truss structure installed on the International Space Station (ISS). It was attached to the S0 truss which was previously installed by the STS-110 mission. The CETA is the first of two human-powered carts that ride along the ISS railway, providing mobile work platforms for future space walking astronauts. The 11 day mission performed three space walks to attach the S1 truss.
