KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Space shuttle Atlantis STS-122 Mission Specialist Leland Melvin tries on the gloves of his launch and entry suit, preparing for launch. The fitting is part of terminal countdown demonstration test, or TCDT, activities the crew is undertaking at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The TCDT provides astronauts and ground crews with equipment familiarization, emergency egress training and a simulated launch countdown. On mission STS-122, Atlantis will deliver the Columbus module to the International Space Station. The European Space Agency's largest single contribution to the station, Columbus is a multifunctional, pressurized laboratory that will be permanently attached to U.S. Node 2, called Harmony. The laboratory will expand the research facilities aboard the station, providing crew members and scientists from around the world the ability to conduct a variety of experiments in the physical, materials and life sciences. Launch is targeted for Dec. 6. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-07pd3359

Summary

STS074-335-027 (12-20 Nov 1995) --- Astronaut Chris A. Hadfield joins two Mir-20 cosmonauts as they share a unique view through windows on the aft flight deck of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Cosmonauts Yuriy P. Gidzenko (center), Mir-20 mission commander, and Sergei V. Avdeyev (right), flight engineer, along with the European Space Agency?s (ESA) Thomas Reiter (out of frame), cosmonaut researcher, have been onboard Russia?s Mir Space Station since September 5, 1995. At the time this photo was taken, the Space Shuttle Atlantis is docked with Mir Space Station, which is the subject of interest by the three international spectators here. With five NASA astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis, the STS-74 flight began with a November 12, 1995, launch from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and ended with landing there on November 20, 1995. The STS-74 crew members were astronauts Kenneth D. Cameron, mission commander; James D. Halsell Jr., pilot; William S. McArthur Jr., Jerry L. Ross and Canadian astronaut Hadfield, all mission specialists. Joint activities on the Mir Space Station and the Space Shuttle Atlantis ended on November 18, 1995, when the two spacecraft separated.
