| KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The view from the External Tank camera shows a cloud of smoke and steam on the pad below as Space Shuttle Atlantis hurtles into space on mission STS-112. The Atlantic Ocean laps the shore on the right. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39B occurred at 3:46 p.m. EDT. Atlantis carries the S1 Integrated Truss Structure and the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) Cart A. The CETA is the first of two human-powered carts that will ride along the ISS railway, providing mobile work platforms for future spacewalking astronauts. On the 11-day mission, three spacewalks are planned to attach the S1 truss. | |
