Summary

DescriptionSTS122 Atlantis.jpg	English: Flames from the main engines on Space Shuttle Atlantis, at ignition, pour through the mobile launcher platform into the flame trench below. Within seconds, Atlantis was on its climb into space and a rendezvous with the International Space Station on mission STS-122. Liftoff was on time at 2:45 p.m. (EST). This is the third launch attempt for Atlantis since December 2007 to carry the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory to the station. During the mission, the crew's prime objective is to attach the laboratory to the Harmony module, adding to the station's size and capabilities. Onboard are astronauts Steve Frick, commander; Alan Poindexter, pilot; Leland Melvin, Rex Walheim, ESA's Hans Schlegel, Stanley Love and ESA's Leopold Eyharts, all mission specialists. Eyharts will join Expedition 16 in progress to serve as a flight engineer aboard the ISS.
