Mission highlights

'STS-112' was an Assembly Mission (9A) to the International Space Station, delivering the S1 truss segment, which provides structural support for the Space Station radiators. It also delivered the Crew Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) Cart to the Space Station. The CETA cart was attached to the Mobile Transporter (launched on STS-110) to be used by assembly crews on later missions. STS-112 also carried several science experiments to the station including the Plant Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus (PGBA), Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus (CGBA), the Protein Crystal Growth Single-locker Thermal Enclosure System housing the Protein Crystillization Apparatus for Microgravity (PCG-STES-PCAM) and samples for the Zeolite Crystal Growth Furnace (ZCG) experiment.

Shuttlecam

A camera mounted to the shuttle's external tank captured Atlantis' ascent to orbit. This was the first time such footage was recorded. Shuttlecam video
In the response to the Space Shuttle ''Columbia'' disaster (STS-107), the camera was also used on STS-114, STS-121, STS-115, STS-116, STS-117, and STS-118. The Cameras may be used on all remaining Space Shuttle missions.
