US space shuttle Atlantis has docked at the International Space Station (ISS) Wednesday after nearly two days of journey. Commander Charles Hobaugh steered the shuttle to a docking with the station at 1651 GMT, Xinhua reported quoting US space agency NASA. Before the docking, Hobaugh maneuvered Atlantis through a backflip rotation to expose the heat shield to station flight engineers and photographers Jeffrey Williams and Nicole Stott. Atlantis lifted off from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida Monday. Its 11-day flight will include three spacewalks and installation of two platforms to the station's truss. The platforms will hold spare parts to sustain station operations after the shuttles' retirement. |
