KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -  In the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA Kennedy Space Center, STS-115 Pilot Christopher Ferguson checks his helmet during suitup before heading to the launch pad. Ferguson is making his first shuttle flight on this mission to the International Space Station aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis.  On its second attempt for launch, Atlantis is scheduled to lift off at 11:41 a.m. EDT today from Launch Pad 39B.  During the STS-115 mission, Atlantis' astronauts will deliver and install the 17.5-ton, bus-sized P3/P4 integrated truss segment on the station. The girder-like truss includes a set of giant solar arrays, batteries and associated electronics and will provide one-fourth of the total power-generation capability for the completed station. This mission is the 116th space shuttle flight, the 27th flight for orbiter Atlantis, and the 19th U.S. flight to the ISS. STS-115 is scheduled to last 11 days with a planned landing at KSC.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -  The STS-115 crew members complete their suitup in the White Room before entering Space Shuttle Atlantis on Launch Pad 39B for a simulated launch countdown.  Shown here is being helped by the closeout crew is Mission Specialist Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper.  The White Room, which is located at the end of the orbiter access arm, allows entry into the orbiter through the crew access hatch.  The mission crew is at KSC for Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) activities that are preparation for launch.  Liftoff of Atlantis is scheduled to take place in a window that opens Aug. 27.  During their 11-day mission to the International Space Station, the STS-115 crew will continue construction of the station and attach the payload elements, the Port 3/4 truss segment with its two large solar arrays.
