STS-122 marked the 24th shuttle mission to the ISS, and the 121st space shuttle flight since STS-1. The mission was also referred to as ISS-1E by the ISS program. The primary objective of STS-122 was to deliver the European Columbus science laboratory, built by the European Space Agency (ESA), to the station. It also returned Expedition 16 Flight Engineer Daniel M. Tani to Earth. Tani was replaced on Expedition 16 by Léopold Eyharts, a French Flight Engineer representing ESA. After Atlantis' landing, the orbiter was prepared for STS-125, the final servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope. The original target launch date for STS-122 was 6 December 2007, but due to engine cutoff sensor (ECO) reading errors, the launch was postponed to 9 December 2007. During the second launch attempt, the sensors failed again, and the launch was halted. A tanking test on 18 December 2007 revealed the probable cause to lie with a connector between the external tank and the shuttle. The connector was replaced and the shuttle launched during the third attempt on 7 February 2008... STS-122 was the ISS Assembly Flight 1E, which delivered the European Columbus laboratory module to the station, along with the Biolab, Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL), European Drawer Rack (EDR), and European Physiology Modules (EPM) payloads. STS-122 also carried the Solar Monitoring Observatory (SOLAR), the European Technology Exposure Facility (EuTEF), and a new Nitrogen Tank Assembly, mounted in the cargo bay of an ICC-Lite payload rack, as well as a spare Drive Lock Assembly (DLA) sent to orbit in support of possible repairs to the starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint (SARJ) which is malfunctioning. Several items were returned with Atlantis: A malfunctioning Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) that was swapped out with a new one during STS-118, and the empty Nitrogen Tank Assembly will be placed in the orbiter's payload bay, along with a trundle bearing from the Starboard SARJ that was removed during an EVA performed by Expedition 16... Three spacewalks were scheduled and completed during STS-122. The cumulative time in extra-vehicular activity during the mission was 22 hours, 8 minutes...

i am still curious about lighting system and wonder if computers on. pard are alimented by solar energy exclusively. seems we could one day wear glasses capable of night vision, then reducing the and less energy, even and enhanced vision

03:05 I'm surprised the orbiter was still inside the atmosphere when the external tank was jettisoned

14:36 What I wouldn't do to be able to be a part of something like that. It's not just the comradery, but also the very capable and caring people you'd be with and the challenging situation you'd be in. Everyone in perfectly alignment to reach a common goal, in a new and testing environment, even while considering the amount of training they'd undergone. I believe that this is the most amazing thing to experience. It's really sad that space shuttles were such a hazard and therefore discontinued. The current space crews seem to range more around a pair of astronauts rather than a whole group.

13:41 thank me later.

вот ребята вышли с шатла ногами и нормально, а когда с ракеты дастают, и ходить не могут, и шоу по привецтвию.
а тут просто полетали и порядок. а чем полет отличается на высоте 8км и 18км, только тем что в шатл обшит пинопластом что б ноги не мерзли -
I wonder if there's an SCE to Aux switch? ;-)

Here's an idea move the iss to the moon and use its parts there. Dont do it, soft land the caps and so on okk. Terrans have spent to much...
-
how long will it take until iss falls back to earth ?

How come you never see ANY satellites or the thousands of "space garbage" orbiting the earth? When you look at the graphics of all of the space garbage and other things orbiting ALL AROUND the earth you would think that you would see at least a few of these from time to time even from a distance.

Blaa, blaa, blaa. What's taking the pictures of this shuttle flying through SPAcE. Tracking perfectly, BS

don't need a telescope. don't even need binoculars.

Awesome stuff

E ainda tem umas e outras pessoas que ainda acredita que o homem não foi a Lua

todo es muy hermoso

what is that 10:26... close watch...

i like it when seeing all scientists are working hard together for all mankind, but not just for a single country. :)

Great video!!
