STORYLINE:
Atlantis docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, as engineers continued to review photographs of a section of peeled-back thermal blanket on the space shuttle.
Atlantis commander Rick Sturckow eased the shuttle into the space station's docking port. Latches fastened the shuttle and orbiting space lab together at 3:36 p.m. EDT (19:36 GMT).
The shuttle's two-day chase of the space station ended about 210 miles (338 kilometres) above southeastern Australia.
It was the first visit this year by a shuttle to the space station. The shuttle was delivering the newest member of the space station's crew as well as a new segment to the orbiting outpost.
Prior to Atlantis' arrival, astronaut Danny Olivas took additional photographs from inside the shuttle of the area where the thermal blanket had peeled back. The images were sent to Mission Control for analysis.
NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) engineers were focusing their attention on a gap about 4 inches (10 centimetres) by 6 inches (15 centimetres) that was discovered after Friday's launch from Kennedy Space Centre.
Engineers were not sure whether stitching on the blanket came loose or whether the blanket, covering a pod of engines near the shuttle's tail, was hit by debris during launch.
Astronauts inside the space station also took photographs of the shuttle's belly when Atlantis was 600 feet (183 metres) below the orbiting outpost.
The pictures were taken when Atlantis commander Rick Sturckow manoeuvred the shuttle into a 360-degree back-flip - part of an inspection technique. Engineers want to make sure there is no damage from launch like the kind that doomed Columbia in 2003.
Hatches connecting the shuttle and space station would not be opened for another one and a half hours until leak checks were done to ensure a tight seal between the two.
Soon after the hatches are opened, US space station resident Sunita Williams and shuttle astronaut Clayton Anderson will trade out seatliners on the Russian emergency vehicle attached to the station.
The seatliner exchange marks the official replacement of Williams by Anderson as a space station resident.
Williams will return to Earth aboard Atlantis after more than six months in space.
NASA engineers want to study more photos of the torn blanket, including images taken by cameras attached to the solid rocket boosters that separated from Atlantis after launch.
On Saturday, astronauts took photographs of the thermal blanket and heat shield using a camera attached to the end of a robotic arm and boom.
Engineers can build models from the images and perform tests to determine whether the peeled-back blanket would be problematic when Atlantis returns to Earth.
Thermal blankets came unstitched during flights of Discovery in 2005 and 2006 with no problems, and thermal tiles were lost in the same area where the blanket is on Atlantis on two of the earliest shuttle flights.
The area does not get hotter than 1-thousand degrees Fahrenheit (538 Celsius) during the shuttle's re-entry, compared with other vehicle parts, where temperatures can reach 2,900 degrees Fahrenheit (1,593 Celsius).

I was at Kennedy Space Center today looking at this marvelous shuttle :) Seeing her in pictures do not do her justice. Seeing her today for the first time in real life was amazing!! So beautiful, and I'm so happy that Florida got to keep the shuttle that was the last one of the shuttles in space. Me being Norwegian and not being close to anything with NASA and the space program at all moved to Florida in 2017 from my country and after 2.5 years here, today was the most exiting day for me personally since I moved here. Seeing Atlantis and the Saturn V rocket was AMAZING :) :)

Using you're same logic, it's okay for people to believe hard drives aren't real because they look fake when they are working? (go watch a video, the head moves so fast yet clicks into position each time that it genuinely looks fake). But to say you can't "blame a person for not believing" just because it "looks" fake, when vision is only one of our senses, and isn't even a good one, it can be tricked (like with optical illusions), is a sign of a simple mind.

How does the spaceship detach from the station? If we suppose that the ship uses some kind of propellant and you think about the law of conservation of momentum that means that the iss also takes half of the momentum so what happens with that? On the other hand if we suppose that there is a mechanism that just opens and the spaceship is free (which probably that's the case) how does it "brake" to get lower, instead of using propellant, which as i mentioned before would translate in extra momentum of the iss? Sorry for any misspelling

[@darthvader9969]

I believe that the space shuttle used a similar method for undocking that capsules use. The capture mechanism that connects the shuttle and the station is spring loaded, so when the shuttle unlatches from the space station, the springs push the shuttle away from the station at a very slow but steady rate. As for deorbit, the shuttle simply points itself retrograde and fires its orbital maneuvering engines in order to lower its orbit enough to hit the atmosphere where friction does the rest of the work.

[@redditsucksyo]

[@msubhanbutt]

How does the two ships adjust their respective velocity post docking? Do they keep firing their thrusters occasionally?

[@idkm6776]

Subhan Butt yep! Due to reasons the speed between the shuttle and the ISS is a little different until they dock, so as approach goes on, they fire RCS thrusters (nitrogen thrusters which are used for fine adjustments) to match speeds and to approach and dock

[@paulsayman3069]

Typical Approach and Docking takes 14-16 hours

[@TheHorseOutside]

There’s something called RCS that is basically a system of tiny thrusters on the front and back of the shuttle. These help to adjust the velocity and direction by tiny amounts

Technology of the 70s

[@darthvader9969]

They were amazing but were quite inefficient. Considering size, the shuttle's payload to low earth orbit rate was about 27,500 kg. This would have been beaten by the Soviets' own shuttle, Buran, which could have taken 30,000 kg to orbit. In addition to that, the failure rate of the shuttle was 1.4%. That might not seem like a large number, but it's well over the current failure rate of .79% from the past 20 years. It's also nearly the same failure rate of all spaceflights in history.

Without the space shuttle flying repair missions to the hubble telescope, the scope would have been useless years ago. If the JW has a major malfunction, it is dead.

[@OnlyThe1Son]

Its traveling 18.000 miles per hour.. Ummm why does it look so slow? Why dont they ever crash? How does it perfectly time it and catch it? How do they make a perfectly timed connection?

[@Crimson-Iden]

1. Yes, it is moving at that speed, however in space from the ISS’ point of view, it will look still with Earth rotating underneath it, while in reality it is orbiting the Earth at the speed, that is why it looks slow. 2. Two space shuttles did crash technically, Columbia and Challenger exploded. 3. They time the docking correctly by slowing down or speeding up the shuttle to the same velocity or at least a similar velocity to the ISS as it orbits. They dock at the perfect time just how I just explained and by aligning the docking ports using the shuttles Reaction Control System, or RCS. None of this is fake and it is fine to ask questions, I will answer them the best way I can

Clearly they are spinning around a point in space above the flat earth just like the sun is - gotta be careful not to get too close, that 3600 mile away sun is really hot. It's ok when they aren't in the spotlight cone though.

Indeed you did, from several cameras around the docking port, some of the modules, the shuttle port, etc. It's way more interesting from several points of view isn't it

@@sailorman8668 not a hoax, it's just hard for me to wrap my head around. I've been doing a lot of research, it just blows my mind to think how precise everything has to be for the docking to take place. This is happening in space, two objects have to connect without collision force, and just the no gravity in space part has me blown away.

Moe Abdel then they take like 3 hrs just to open the hatch. It’s insane how precise this process has to be. As they say “it doesn’t need to be good, it needs to be perfect.” The amount of research and engineering put in this kind of stuff is mind blowing. I love NASA
