STS-112 Flight Day 1 HighlightsOn the first day of STS-112 the crew (Commander Jeff Ashby, Pilot Pam Melroy and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus, Piers Sellers, David Wolf and Fyodor Yurchikhin) are shown preparing for launch at Kennedy Space Center, being transported to the Space Shuttle Atlantis at its launch pad, and being seated in the Orbiter. During the launch, the External Tank (ET) camera, mounted to the top of Atlantis's ET and aimed downward) will provide never before seen footage of the shuttle during lift-off. Following the final countdown and liftoff, the ET camera provides footage as Atlantis quickly leaves the Earth behind, at speeds over 2,800 miles per hour. Following orbital insertion, the shuttle's payload bay doors are shown opening in footage provided by a payload bay camera. Sellers and Magnus narrate their thoughts during a replay of the initial launch sequence, shortly after entering orbit. Following the tape, they are shown in the crewcabin with the rest of the crew, and they each share brief thoughts.
