STS-73 STS-72

STS-74 var en flygning i det amerikanska rymdfärjeprogrammet, den femtonde flygningen med rymdfärjan Atlantis. Den sköts upp från LC-39A vid Kennedy Space Center den 12 november 1995 och dockade med rymdstationen Mir den 15 november 1995. Den lämnade rymdstationen den 18 november 1995, återinträdde i jordens atmosfär och landade på Runway 33 vid Kennedy Space Center den 20 november 1995.

Dockning

Under flygningen genomfördes den andra dockningen mellan en rymdfärja och rymdstationen Mir. Atlantis hade med sig en ny modul till stationen. Modulens huvudsyfte var att agera dockningsmodul, den kopplades till den yttre porten på Kristallmodulen. Detta gjorde att rymdfärjor kunde docka med stationen utan att man behövde flytta Kristallmodulen från sin ordinarie plats.

The crew patch of STS-73, the second flight of the United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2), depicts the Space Shuttle Columbia in the vastness of space. In the foreground are the classic regular polyhedrons that were investigated by Plato and later Euclid. The Pythagoreans were also fascinated by the symmetrical three-dimensional objects whose sides are the same regular polygon. The tetrahedron, the cube, the octahedron, and the icosahedron were each associated with the Natural Elements of that time: fire (on this mission represented as combustion science); Earth (crystallography), air and water (fluid physics). An additional icon shown as the infinity symbol was added to further convey the discipline of fluid mechanics. The shape of the emblem represents a fifth polyhedron, a dodecahedron, which the Pythagoreans thought corresponded to a fifth element that represented the cosmos.

  • The STS-74 crew patch depicts the orbiter Atlantis docked to the Russian Space Station Mir. The central focus is on the Russian-built docking module, drawn with shading to accentuate its pivotal importance to both STS-74 and the NASA-Mir Program. The rainbow across the horizon represents the Earth's atmosphere, the thin membrane protecting all nations, while the three flags across the bottom show those nations participating in STS-74: Russia, Canada, and the United States. The sunrise is symbolic of the dawn of a new era in NASA space flight , that of International Space Station construction.

The crew assigned to the STS-74 mission included (seated left to right) James D. Halsell, pilot and Kenneth D. Cameron, commander. Standing, left to right, are mission specialists William S. McArthur, Jerry L. Ross, and Chris A. Hadfield. Launched aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis on November 12, 1995 at 7:30:43.071 am (EST), the STS-74 mission performed the second docking of a U.S. Space Shuttle to the Russian Space Station Mir, continuing Phase I activities leading to the construction of the International Space Station (ISS).

STS-72 Mission Insignia

The crew patch of STS-72 depicts the Space Shuttle Endeavour and some of the payloads on the flight. The Japanese satellite, Space Flyer Unit (SFU) is shown in a free-flying configuration with the solar array panels deployed. The inner gold border of the patch represents the SFU's distinct octagonal shape. Endeavour's rendezvous with and retrieval of SFU at an altitude of approximately 250 nautical miles. The Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology's (OAST) flyer satellite is shown just after release from the Remote Manipulator System (RMS). The OAST satellite was deployed at an altitude of 165 nautical miles. The payload bay contains equipment for the secondary payloads - the Shuttle Laser Altimeter (SLA) and the Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Instrument (SSBUV). There were two space walks planned to test hardware for assembly of the International Space Station. The stars represent the hometowns of the crew members in the United States and Japan.
