The STS-115 mission marked NASA's return to building the International Space Station. From liftoff to touchdown, this video reveals the high-stakes work that made the mission a major challenge -- and a resounding success. Atlantis landed on Runway 33 at 6:21:30 a.m. EDT after the 11-day, 19-hour, 6-minute mission STS-115 to the International Space Station. Atlantis traveled 4.9 million miles, landing on orbit 187. During the mission, astronauts delivered and installed the massive P3_P4 truss, an integral part of the station's backbone, and two sets of solar arrays that will eventually provide one quarter of the station's power.
