Title	Shuttle Moon
Explanation	As a gorgeous full Moon rose above the eastern horizon [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010219.html ] on February 7, the Space Shuttle Atlantis streaked skyward towards an orbital rendezvous with the International Space Station [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001214.html ]. Watching from Orlando, Florida, about 60 miles west of the Kennedy Space Center [ http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/facilities/ tour.htm ] launch site, photographer Tony DeVito captured this digital image, one of a series [ http://www.thedevitos.com/shuttle.html ] of pictures of the shuttle's fiery climb. While foreground street lights flickered on and a clear evening sky grew dark, the shuttle's path just grazed the bright lunar disk. On this mission, STS-98, Atlantis carried the U.S. Destiny laboratory [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/assembly/elements/uslab/ index.html ] module to be added to the expanding orbital outpost. Atlantis [ http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/ atlantis.html ] is currently scheduled to return to the space station next month.

Description	The crew of STS-98 poses for a group photo shortly before leaving NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center after a successful landing of the Space Shuttle Atlantis the day before. L to R: Mission Specialists Robert L. Curbeam, Thomas D. Jones, and Marsha S. Ivins, Commander Kenneth D. Cockrell, and Pilot Mark L. Polansky. Space Shuttle Atlantis landed at 12:33 p.m. February 20, 2001, on the runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California, where NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center is located. The mission, which began February 7, logged 5.3 million miles as the shuttle orbited earth while delivering the Destiny science laboratory to the International Space Station. Inclement weather conditions in Florida prompted the decision to land Atlantis at Edwards. The last time a space shuttle landed at Edwards was Oct. 24, 2000.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, STS-98 Mission Specialist Thomas D. Jones (Ph.D.) looks up at the U.S. Lab Destiny with its debris shield blanket made of a material similar to that used in bullet-proof vests on Earth. Along with Commander Kenneth D. Cockrell and Pilot Mark Polansky, Jones is taking part in a Multi-Equipment Interface Test (MEIT) on this significant element of the International Space Station. During the STS-98 mission, the crew will install the Lab on the Station during a series of three spacewalks. The mission will provide the Station with science research facilities and expand its power, life support and control capabilities. The U.S. Laboratory Module continues a long tradition of microgravity materials research, first conducted by Skylab and later Shuttle and Spacelab missions. Destiny is expected to be a major feature in future research, providing facilities for biotechnology, fluid physics, combustion and life sciences reseach. The Lab is planned for launch aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis on the sixth ISS flight, currently targeted no earlier than August 19, 2000.
