To: Phsstpok; Alas Babylon!

Alas babylon from the old SF story about post-nuclear-war east coast FL?

Saw one (military) launch from Orlando in 1978. Another from the highway south of Daytona, and one from the beach hotel in Daytone. Until that last one, I hadn’t really understood how “shallow” they are: their trajetory is far more horizontal than vertical.

Atlantis’ arm has a grasp on the S3/S4 solar array truss structure. Latches holding the truss in the payload bay will be released, allowing the arm to raise the 36,000-pound station piece out of the shuttle for handoff to the station’s robotic arm.


The real mission has begun

HATCHES OPEN. The hatchway between Atlantis and the space station has been opened, and the shuttle crew is being welcomed aboard the outpost with the ringing of the station’s bell.

Over the next couple of hours, astronaut Clay Anderson will begin moving his things aboard the station and become an official member of Expedition 15. Station resident Suni Williams will in turn become a shuttle astronaut for the trip back to Earth.

Also upcoming is the unberthing of the S3/S4 truss from Atlantis’ payload bay by the shuttle robot arm. The truss will be handed to the station’s arm to stay overnight. Installation of truss occurs tomorrow morning.


ships bell yet!
