MODEL History:

Atlantis was the fourth orbiter to become operational at the Kennedy Amplitude Center. It was called afterwards the primary analysis barge for the Woods Hole Abyssal Institute in Massachusetts from 1930 to 1966. The two-masted, 460-ton baiter was the aboriginal U.S. barge to be acclimated for abyssal research. The analysis was advised to be one of the aftermost bastions of the sailing barge as steam-and-diesel-powered argosy bedeviled the waterways.

The spaceship Atlantis has agitated on the spirit of the sailing barge with several important voyages, including the Galileo all-embracing charlatan mission in 1989 and the deployment of the Arthur Holley Compton Gamma Ray Observatory in 1991.

In 1995, Atlantis fabricated seven beeline flights to the Russian amplitude base Mir. On the additional Mir flight, it delivered a advancing module, and it conducted astronaut exchanges on the consecutive flights.

From November 1997 to July 1999, Atlantis underwent adjustment operations, with about 165 modifications fabricated to the shuttle, including the accession of the Multifunction Electronic Display System, or bottle cockpit. Since then, it has fabricated six flights, all involving accumulation activities at the International Amplitude Station.

NASA appointed the 27th barrage for Atlantis on September 2005, from September 9 - 24. It was disqualified alarming to fly the mission and the barrage window was missed, due to the complications during Discovery's barrage of mission STS-114 and NASA's consecutive abeyance of all approaching shuttle launches. Atlantis was the appointed STS-300 accomplishment orbiter for the STS-114 mission. Atlantis was appointed to fly the STS-121 mission, but it was absitively that Discovery would fly the mission instead.

After a four-year-halt, Atlantis went aback into apogee forth with six astronauts on STS-115, accustomed the P3/P4 bandage segments and solar arrays. Atlantis launched its longest mission STS-117 on June 8, 2007, about 14 days.
