KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Tim Terry, with Kennedy Space Center Integrated Communications Services, sits at the controls of a long-range tracking camera during the launch of space shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-122. Liftoff was on time at 2:45 p.m. EST. Long-range cameras are used during early phases of ascent to identify and track debris and continue to be used as long as the vehicle is visible. During the 11-day mission, the crew's prime objective is to attach the Columbus laboratory to the Harmony module, adding to the International Space Station's size and capabilities.
