STS-115 Launch Windows COMPILED BY WILLIAM HARWOOD Updated: Sept. 7, 2006
Changes and additions:
Atlantis' launch window is based on the international space station's orbit, the angle between the sun and the plane of the station's orbit and lighting conditions for photo documentation of the ship's external tank and heat shield. Based on those factors, the launch window extends from Aug. 27 through Sept. 13. But any launch past Sept. 8 would put the shuttle in conflict with launch of a Russian Soyuz capsule carrying the station's next full-time crew.
