KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - NASA astronaut Patrick Forrester addresses a group of educators assembled for the kickoff of "The Science in Space Challenge" at the Doubletree Hotel in Orlando, Fla. The national challenge program is sponsored by NASA and Pearson Scott Foresman, publisher of pre-K through grade six educational books. To participate in the challenge, teachers may submit proposals, on behalf of their students, for a science and technology investigation. Astronauts will conduct the winning projects on a Space Shuttle mission or on the International Space Station, while teachers and students follow along via television or the Web. For more information about the announcement, see the news release at http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2004/oct/HQ_04341_publication.html.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the White Room on Launch Pad 39A, members of the closeout crew help STS-117Mission Specialist Patrick Forrester secure his equipment before climbing into Space Shuttle Atlantis. The mission to the International Space Station is scheduled to launch at 7:38 p.m. EDT. Members of the closeout crew help the astronauts don a parachute pack, strap them into the space shuttle's crew module and take care of any other last-minute needs that arise. The White Room is at the end of the orbiter access arm that extends from the fixed service structure and provides entry into the orbiter. The shuttle is delivering a new segment to the starboard side of the space station's backbone, known as the truss. Three spacewalks are planned to install the S3/S4 truss segment, deploy a set of solar arrays and prepare them for operation. STS-117 is the 118th space shuttle flight, the 21st flight to the station, the 28th flight for Atlantis and the first of four flights planned for 2007. Photo credit: NASA/Tony Gray & Don Kight

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- After their arrival at KSC, STS-117 crew members take part in a payload bay walkdown on Launch Pad 39A to look at the cargo in Space Shuttle Atlantis. Seen here are Mission Specialists Patrick Forrester (left) and James Reilly. The payload includes the S3/S4 integrated truss structure for the International Space Station. STS-117 is scheduled to launch at 7:38 p.m. June 8. During the 11-day mission and three spacewalks, the crew will work with flight controllers at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston to install the 17-ton segment on the station's girder-like truss and deploy the set of solar arrays, S3/S4. The mission will increase the space station's power capability in preparation for the arrival of new science modules from the European and Japanese space agencies. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
