KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- At the Space Station Processing Facility, the STS-104 crew look
over equipment as part of Crew Equipment Interface Test activities. Starting second from left
are Mission Specialists James F. Reilly II, Janet L. Kavandi, Pilot Charles O. Hobaugh,
Commander Steven Lindsey and Mission Specialist Michael L. Gernhardt. The STS-104 mission will
carry the Joint Airlock Module to the International Space Station. The U.S.-made module will
allow astronauts and cosmonauts in residence on the Station to perform future spacewalks
without the presence of a Space Shuttle. The module, which comprises a crew lock and an
equipment lock, will be connected to the starboard (right) side of Node 1 Unity. Atlantis
will also carry oxygen and nitrogen storage tanks, vital to operation of the Joint Airlock, on
a Spacelab Logistics Double Pallet in the payload bay. The tanks, to be installed on the
perimeter of the Joint Module during the mission’s spacewalks, will support future spacewalk
operations and experiments plus agument the resupply system for the Station’s Service Module.

launch configuration. The Airlock is the primary payload on mission STS-104 to the
International Space Station. It is a pressurized flight element consisting of two cylindrical
chambers attached end-to-end by a connecting bulkhead and hatch. Once installed and activated,
the Airlock becomes the primary path for spacewalk entry to and departure from the Space
Station for U.S. spacesuits, which are known as Extravehicular Mobility Units, or EMUs. In
addition, the Joint Airlock is designed to support the Russian Orlan spacesuit for EVA
activity. STS-104 is scheduled for launch June 14 from Launch Pad 39B.

back inside the Vehicle Assembly Building high bay 1. After earlier starting its trek to
Launch Pad 39B, Atlantis was returned to the VAB due to lightning in the area. To the left of
the VAB is the Launch Control Center. The four-story building houses the firing rooms that
are used to conduct Space Shuttle launches. Leading away from the VAB, in the foreground, is
the crawlerway, the 130-foot-wide road specially constructed to transport the Shuttle, mobile
launcher platform and crawler-transporter with a combined weight of about 17 million pounds.
Space Shuttle Atlantis is targeted for launch no earlier than July 12 on mission STS-104, the
10th flight to the International Space Station. The payload on the 11-day mission is the
Joint Airlock Module, which will allow astronauts and cosmonauts in residence on the Station
to perform future spacewalks without the presence of a Space Shuttle. The module, which
comprises a crew lock and an equipment lock, will be connected to the starboard (right) side
of Node 1 Unity. Atlantis will also carry oxygen and nitrogen storage tanks, vital to
operation of the Joint Airlock, on a Spacelab Logistics Double Pallet in the payload bay. The
tanks, to be installed on the perimeter of the Joint Module during the missions spacewalks,
will support future spacewalk operations and experiments plus augment the resupply system for
the Stations Service Module.

orbiter to allow entry into Atlantis. The White Room at the end is
the point of entry, and is an environmentally controlled room where
the Shuttle crew have final adjustments made to their launch and entry
suits. At the lower end of Atlantis are the tail service masts, in
front of either wing. The masts support the fluid, gas and electrical
requirements of the orbiters liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen aft T-0
umbilicals. Viewed in the background is the Atlantic Ocean. Launch on

launch preparations. The orbiter access arm, with the environmentally controlled White Room
at the end, is extended to the orbiter to allow entry into Atlantis. Above it is the gaseous
oxygen vent arm with its characteristic beanie cap or hood placed over the external tank. The
retractable arm and vent hood assembly allows gaseous oxygen vapors to vent away from the
Space Shuttle vehicle. The vapors are created as the liquid oxygen in the external tank boils
off. At the lower end of Atlantis are the tail service masts, in front of either wing. The
