{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. Space Shuttle Atlantis is outfitted
                with its left Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) pod in Orbiter
                Process Facility bay 1. The Orbital Maneuvering System provides
                the thrust for orbit insertion, orbit circularization, orbit
                transfer, rendezvous, deorbit, abort to orbit and abort once
                around. It can provide up to 1,000 pounds of propellant to the
                aft reaction control system. Each pod contains one OMS engine and
                the hardware needed to pressurize, store and distribute the
                propellants to perform the velocity maneuvers. Atlantis is the
                designated orbiter to fly on mission STS-121. The mission has a
                launch window of July 12 - July 31.
