STS-112 Flight Day 6 Highlights

On the sixth flight day of STS-112 (Atlantis crewmembers include Dave Wolf, Mission Specialists; Sandy Magnus, Mission Specialists; Pam Melroy, Pilot; Jeff Ashby, Commander; Piers Sellers, Mission Specialists; Fyodor Yurchikhin, Mission Specialists), Wolf and Sellers are seen preparing for an EVA (extravehicular activity) during which they will service the ISS (International Space Station) to which Atlantis is docked. This will be the 45th EVA in support of ISS assembly and maintenance and the 20th conducted from the ISS. While the astronauts prepare, video footage is shown of the Sahara desert, over which the ISS is passing in a track that will take it over North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea. During the EVA, the External Television Camera Group will be brought out of the station and attached to the station. As the astronauts work, their helmet mounted cameras provide excellent footage of the ISS with the Shuttle docked at the Destiny Laboratory Module. Multiple shots of the station show several modules including Destiny, Quest, Unity and Zarya, as well as Canadarm 2 and Atlantis. The video closes with a wide angle shot of the ISS.

Following the final countdown and liftoff, the ET camera provides footage as Atlantis quickly leaves the Earth behind, at speeds over 2,800 miles per hour. Following orbital insertion, the shuttle's payload bay doors are shown opening in footage provided by a payload bay camera. Sellers and Magnus narrate their thoughts during a replay of the initial launch sequence, shortly after entering orbit. Following the tape, they are shown in the crewcabin with the rest of the crew, and they each share brief thoughts.

STS-112 Flight Day 3 Highlights

During the third flight day of STS-112 (Commander Jeff Ashby, Pilot Pam Melroy and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus, Piers Sellers, David Wolf and Fyodor Yurchikhin), the Space Shuttle Atlantis begins its final approach to the International Space Station (ISS) with which it will dock. The Chinese mainland is seen, at night, at a height of 242 statute miles. In one section of video from a camera onboard the ISS, Atlantis can be seen to be almost directly below the station, at a distance of several hundred feet. The orbiter's docking system is shown, as it is slowly guided by Ashby towards the forward docking port on the ISS's Destiny Laboratory Module and its forward docking port. Above the docking port, the S0 truss structure can be seen, to which the S1 truss structure in Atlantis' payload bay will be attached during this mission. Also seen are the Unity airlock and other modules. Following the completion of docking, in which an excellent shot of the docking system in hard dock is visible, the hatches between the two crafts are opened and the members of Atlantis are greeted by the very excited members of Expedition 5, who have been aboard the ISS for several months.
