Discovery lifts off Aug. 10, 2001, on mission STS-105, an assembly flight to the International Space Station.
Cover Photo: On Oct. 18, 2002, Space Shuttle Atlantis casts a needle-shaped shadow as it drops to
the runway at the Shuttle Landing Facility, completing the 4.5-million-mile round trip to the International
Space Station on mission STS-112. The mission expanded the size of the Station with the addition of
the S1 truss segment. This landing is the 60th at KSC in the history of the Shuttle program.
