Shuttle crew bids farewell
BY WILLIAM HARWOOD
STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION
Posted: September 17, 2006
With hugs and handshakes, the Atlantis astronauts bid farewell to their space station colleagues today, signed the lab's logbook and closed hatches between the two spacecraft, setting the stage for undocking at 8:50 a.m.
"Houston, the log book has been completed, all of the ceremonies have taken place and the STS-115 crew is egressing the station for the final time," shuttle commander Brent Jett radioed as the farewell ceremony broke up.
Station flight engineer Jeff Williams, following naval tradition, rang the ship's bell and called out: "STS-115, the crew of Atlantis departing" as the shuttle astronauts left the Destiny laboratory module and floated back into the orbiter.
The shuttle's hatch was closed at 6:27 a.m. and the vestibule between the hatch and the station was depressurized.
