New theory addresses frozen Earth paradox
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- The space shuttle Atlantis completed its visit to the International Space Station Sunday after successfully attaching a truss to the orbital outpost.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Web site reported that Atlantis undocked from the station early Sunday morning after spending the last four days using shuttle equipment to attach a P3/P4 integrated truss which would assist in future assembly missions.
After undocking from the Expedition 13, Atlantis under the control of Pilot Chris Ferguson, conducted a surveillance trip around the structure to allow for imagery of the new truss to be collected by his crewmates.
NASA said that with its mission nearly completed, the space shuttle is scheduled to touch down at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida early Wednesday morning.
