http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/news/snews/spnews_toc.html STS-115 mission boosts space station’s power pace Shuttle Atlantis and its crew are home after a 12-day Sjourney of more than 4.9 million miles in space. The mission, STS-115, succeeded in restarting assembly of the Interna- tional Space Station. The crew delivered and installed the massive P3/P4 truss, an integral part of the station’s backbone, and two sets of solar arrays that will eventually provide one-quarter of the station’s power. Commander Brent Jett, Pilot Chris Ferguson and Mission Specialists Joe Tanner, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Dan Burbank and Canadian astronaut Steve MacLean landed at 6:21 a.m. Sept. 21 at Kennedy Space Center. After landing, Jett commented: “It’s nice to be back. It was a great team effort, so I think assembly’s off to a good start.” ATLANTIS AND her STS-115 crew return to Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 21 and approach Runway 33.

STEREO stands for Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory. The STEREO mission is the first to take measurements of the sun and solar wind in 3-dimension. This new view will improve our understand- ing of space weather and its impact on the Earth. STEREO is expected to lift off no earlier than Oct. 25 from Launch Pad 17-B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. STEREO’s twin observatories will be offset from one another in orbit. One observatory will be placed “ahead” of the Earth in its orbit, and using a series of lunar swingbys, the other will travel “behind.” Just as the slight offset between your eyes provides you with depth perception, this placement will allow the STEREO observatories to obtain 3-D images of the sun. Using this unique 3-D imagery, scientists will be able to examine the structure of these important events, and learn more about their fundamen- tal nature and origin.
