| SPACE SHUTTLE | SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS | STS-66 | The Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Sciences – 3 (ATLAS-03) was the primary payload aboard STS-66. It continued the series of Spacelab flights to study the energy of the sun and how it affects the Earth’s climate and environment. The ATLAS-03 mission made the first detailed measurements from the Shuttle of the Northern Hemisphere’s middle atmosphere in late fall. The timing of the flight, when the Antarctic Hole is diminishing, allowed scientists to study possible effects of the ozone hole on mid-latitudes, the way Antarctic air recovers, and how the northern atmosphere changes as the winter season approaches. | KENNEDY SPACE CENTER | MERRIT ISLAND | FLORIDA |
| SPACE SHUTTLE | SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR | STS -97 | STS-97 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Endeavour. The crew installed the first set of solar arrays to the ISS, prepared a docking port for arrival of the Destiny Laboratory Module, and delivered supplies for the station’s crew. It was the last human spaceflight of the 20th century. Crew | CALIFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER | EXPOSITION PARK | CALIFORNIA |
| SPACE SHUTTLE | SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS | STS 115 | .STS-115 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Atlantis. It was the first assembly mission to the ISS after the Columbia disaster, following the two successful Return to Flight missions. The mission is also referred to as ISS-12A by the ISS program. The mission delivered the second port-side truss segment (ITS P3/P4), a pair of solar arrays (2A and 4A), and batteries. A total of three spacewalks were performed, during which the crew connected the systems on the installed trusses, prepared them for deployment, and did other maintenance work on the station. | KENNEDY SPACE CENTER | MERRIT ISLAND | ORLANDO |
| SPACE SHUTTLE | SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY | STS 82 | The STS-82 mission was the second in a series of planned servicing missions to the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope (“HST”), which had been placed in orbit on April 24, 1990, by Discovery during STS-31. The first servicing mission was done by Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-61. Work performed by Discovery’s crew significantly upgraded the scientific capabilities of the HST and helped to keep the telescope functioning smoothly until the next scheduled servicing missions, which were STS-103 in 1999 and STS-109 in 2002 | STEVEN UDVAR HAZY | CHANTILLY | VIRGINIA |
