KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Flaming rockets propel Space Shuttle Atlantis into the sky or a rendezvous with the International Space Station on mission STS-115. Appearing below the main engine nozzles s are the blue mach diamonds signal the speed and force at which Atlantis roars into space. Below Atlantis' tail are pieces of ice dislodged during the launch. Liftoff was on-time at 11:14:55 a.m. EDT. After several launch attempts were scrubbed due to weather and technical concerns, this launch was executed perfectly. Mission STS-115 is the 116th space shuttle flight, the 27th flight for orbiter Atlantis, and the 19th U.S. flight to the International Space Station. During the mission, Atlantis' astronauts will deliver and install the 17.5-ton, bus-sized P3/P4 integrated truss segment on the station. The girder-like truss includes a set of giant solar arrays, batteries and associated electronics and will provide one-fourth of the total power-generation capability for the completed station. STS-115 is scheduled to last 11 days with a planned landing at KSC KSC-06pp2146

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Space Shuttle Endeavour paints the still-blue evening sky as it leaves Earth behind on its journey into space on mission STS-118. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A was on time at 6:36 p.m. EDT. The mission is the 22nd shuttle flight to the International Space Station. It will continue space station construction by delivering a third starboard truss segment, S5, and other payloads such as the SPACEHAB module and the external stowage platform 3. The 11-day mission may be extended to as many as 14 depending on the test of the Station-to-Shuttle Power Transfer System that will allow the docked shuttle to draw electrical power from the station and extend its visits to the orbiting lab.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A twisting column of smoke points the way to Space Shuttle Columbia at its tip as the Shuttle hurtles toward space on mission STS-107. Following a flawless and uneventful countdown, liftoff occurred on-time at 10:39 a.m. EST. The 16-day research mission will include FREESTAR (Fast Reaction Experiments Enabling Science, Technology, Applications and Research) and the SHI Research Double Module (SHI/RDM), known as SPACEHAB. Experiments on the module range from material sciences to life sciences. Landing is scheduled at about 8:53 a.m. EST on Saturday, Feb. 1. This mission is the first Shuttle mission of 2003. Mission STS-107 is the 28th flight of the orbiter Columbia and the 113th flight overall in NASA's Space Shuttle program. KSC-03pd0123
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Taken from the roof of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Discovery lifts off Launch Pad 39A atop twin columns of fire, creating rolling clouds of smoke and steam in its track. Launch of the STS-133 mission was at 4:53 p.m. EST on Feb. 24. Discovery and its six-member crew are on a mission to deliver the Permanent Multipurpose Module, packed with supplies and critical spare parts, as well as Robonaut 2, the dexterous humanoid astronaut helper, to the International Space Station. Discovery is making its 39th mission and is scheduled to be retired following STS-133. This is the 133rd Space Shuttle Program mission, the 35th shuttle voyage to the space station and Discovery's final mission.

Zusammenfassung
STS121-S-015 (4. Juli 2006) --- Das Space Shuttle Discovery mit seiner siebenköpfigen Crew startete um 14.38 Uhr (EDT), um die zweitägige Reise zur Internationalen Raumstation mit der historischen Mission Return to Flight STS-121 zu beginnen. Discovery soll am Donnerstag, den 6. Juli 2006 um 10: 52 Uhr (EDT) an der Station andocken. Das Shuttle schrieb Geschichte, da es das erste bemannte Raumschiff war, das am Unabhängigkeitstag startete. Während der zwölftägigen Mission wird die siebenköpfige Crew von STS-121 neue Ausrüstung und Verfahren testen, um die Shuttle-Sicherheit zu verbessern, Vorräte zu liefern und Reparaturen an der Raumstation vorzunehmen.
