KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The STS-115 crew members walk toward the Astrovan that will take them to Launch Pad 39B. Seen left to right are Mission Specialists Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Steven MacLean, Joseph Tanner and Daniel Burbank; Pilot Christopher Ferguson; and Commander Brent Jett. This is the second attempt at launch after a week's postponement due to weather and technical concerns. Atlantis is scheduled to lift off at 11:41 a.m. EDT on this date from Launch Pad 39B. During the STS-115 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. This mission is the 116th space shuttle flight, the 27th flight for orbiter Atlantis, and the 19th U.S. flight to the ISS. STS-115 is scheduled to last 11 days with a planned landing at KSC.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In the Canister Rotation Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the payload canister is lifted toward a vertical position for the trip to Launch Pad 39A. The canister’s cargo consists of four carriers holding various equipment for the STS-125 mission aboard space shuttle Atlantis to service NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. At the pad, the cargo will be moved into the Payload Changeout Room. The changeout room is the enclosed, environmentally controlled portion of the rotating service structure that supports cargo delivery to the pad and subsequent vertical installation into the shuttle’s payload bay. Launch of Atlantis is targeted for Oct. 10. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller KSC-08pd2776

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A flatbed trailer carrying the final components of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory for the International Space Station drives past the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The trailer contains the Kibo Exposed Facility and the Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section, which are going to the Space Station Processing Facility. The two components arrived earlier on a Russian Antonov AH-124-100 cargo airplane at the Shuttle Landing Facility. The EF provides a multipurpose platform where science experiments can be deployed and operated in the exposed environment. The payloads attached to the EF can be exchanged or retrieved by Kibo's robotic arm, the JEM Remote Manipulator System. The ELM-ES will be attached to the end of the EF to provide payload storage space and can carry up to three payloads at launch. In addition, the ELM-ES provides a logistics function where it can be detached from the EF and returned to the ground aboard the space shuttle. The two JEM components will be carried aboard space shuttle Endeavour on the STS-127 mission targeted for launch in May 2009. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis KSC-08pd2926
