KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Reverberations from the launch of space shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-122 cause ripples on the surface of the water near Launch Pad 39A. Liftoff was on time at 2:45 p.m. EST. This is the third launch attempt for Atlantis since December 2007 to carry the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory to the International Space Station. During the 11-day mission, the crew's prime objective is to attach the laboratory to the Harmony module, adding to the station's size and capabilities.
