KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Late at night, the payload canister moves out of the Canister Rotation Facility on its transporter, heading for Launch Pad 39B. Inside the canister is the payload for Atlantis and mission STS-115, the Port 3/4 truss segment with two large solar arrays. Atlantis' launch window begins Aug. 28. During its 11-day mission to the International Space Station, the STS-115 crew of six astronauts will install the truss, a 17-ton segment of the space station's truss backbone.
