STS-117 var en rymdfärd som genomfördes av den amerikanska rymdfärjan Atlantis. Den sköts upp från Pad 39A vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida den 8 juni 2007. Efter nästan fjorton dagar i omloppsbana runt jorden återinträdde rymdfärjan i jordens atmosfär och landade vid Edwards Air Force Base i Kalifornien.
Uppdragets mål var att leverera och montera byggelement till den Internationella rymdstationen samt att utväxla en besättningsmedlem till densamma.
Uppdragets planerade start och hagelskur
Atlantis planerades ursprungligen att lyfta den 16 mars och rullades ut till startplattan den 15 februari. Den 26 februari träffades den externa bränsletanken av ett flertal hagel, vilket orsakade stor skada. Med anledning av detta kördes Atlantis tillbaka till den vertikala monteringshallen den 4 mars 2007 där tanken reparerades.
Uppdragets start och landning
Uppdraget startade den 8 juni 2007 och färden var planerad att fortgå i 13 dagar, till den 21 juni 2007 men på grund av dåligt väder tvingades landningen skjutas upp till de 22 juni.
Uppdragets mål
Uppdraget med STS-117 var att föra upp och montera fackverksdel S3/S4 samt tillhörande solpanel S4 till den internationella rymdstationen. Man vecklade även ihop solpanel P6 del 2B för att tillåta solpanel S4 att rotera fritt och följa solen.

ISS-14
USA Sunita Williams som flög upp med STS-116 flögs ner med STS-117.
ISS-15
USA Clayton Anderson flögs upp till internationella rymdstationen.
Besättning
USA Frederick W. Sturckow, befälhavare- USA Lee Archambault, pilot
- USA James F. Reilly, nyttolastspecialist
- USA Patrick G. Forrester, nyttolastspecialist
- USA Steven Swanson, nyttolastspecialist

Väckningar
Under Geminiprogrammet började NASA spela musik för besättningar och sedan Apollo 15 har man varje "morgon" väckt besättningen med ett musikstycke, särskilt utvalt antingen för en enskild astronaut eller för de förhållanden som råder.

STS-117 patch.png
The STS-117 crew patch symbolizes the continued construction of the International Space Station (ISS) and our ongoing human presence in space. The ISS is shown orbiting high above the Earth. Gold is used to highlight the portion of the ISS that will be installed by the STS-117 crew. It consists of the second starboard truss section, S3/S4, and a set of solar arrays. The names of the STS-117 crew are located above and below the orbiting outpost. The two gold astronaut office symbols, emanating from the '117' at the bottom of the patch, represent the concerted efforts of the shuttle and station programs toward the completion of the station. The orbiter and unfurled banner of red, white, and blue represent our Nation's renewed patriotism as we continue to explore the universe. The NASA insignia design for shuttle space flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which is not anticipated, such will be publicly announced.

STS-118 patch new.png
STS118-S-001 (May 2007) --- The STS-118 patch represents Space Shuttle Endeavour on its mission to help complete the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS), and symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge through space exploration. The flight will accomplish its ISS 13A.1 assembly tasks through a series of spacewalks, robotic operations, logistics transfers, and the exchange of one of the three long-duration expedition crew members. On the patch, the top of the gold astronaut symbol overlays the starboard S-5 truss segment, highlighting its installation during the mission. The flame of knowledge represents the importance of education, and honors teachers and students everywhere. The seven white stars and the red maple leaf signify the American and Canadian crew members, respectively, flying aboard Endeavour.

Sts-116-patch.png
The STS-116 patch design signifies the continuing assembly of the International Space Station (ISS). The primary mission objective is to deliver and install the P5 truss element. The P5 installation will be conducted during the first of three planned spacewalks, and will involve use of both the shuttle and station robotic arms. The remainder of the mission will include a major reconfiguration and activation of the ISS electrical and thermal control systems, as well as delivery of Zvezda Service Module debris panels, which will increase ISS protection from potential impacts of micro-meteorites and orbital debris. In addition, a single expedition crewmember will launch on STS-116 to remain onboard the station, replacing an expedition crewmember that will fly home with the shuttle crew. The crew patch depicts the space shuttle rising above the Earth and ISS. The United States and Swedish flags trail the orbiter, depicting the international composition of the STS-116 crew. The seven stars of the constellation Ursa Major are used to provide direction to the North Star, which is superimposed over the installation location of the P5 truss on ISS.

Backdropped by a blue and white Earth, this close-up view features the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft approaching the International Space Station (ISS). Onboard the spacecraft are cosmonaut Sergei K. Krikalev, Expedition 11 commander representing Russia's Federal Space Agency; astronaut John L. Phillips, NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer; and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Roberto Vittori of Italy. The Soyuz linked to the Pirs Docking Compartment at 9:20 p.m. (CDT) on April 16, 2005 as the two spacecraft flew over eastern Asia. The docking followed Friday’s launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
