   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- STS-112 crew members share a few words
   after their arrival at the KSC Shuttle Landing Facility to begin
   launch preparations. In the center are Commander Jeffrey Ashby (left)
   and Mission Specialist David Wolf (right). With their backs to the
   camera are Mission Specialists Piers Sellers (far left) and Sandra
   Magnus (far right). Not shown are Pilot Pamela Melroy and Mission
   Specialist Fyodor Yurchikhin, who is with the Russian Space
   Agency. STS-112, aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis, is the 15th assembly
   mission to the International Space Station. Atlantis will be carrying
   the S1 Integrated Truss Structure, the first starboard truss segment,
   to be attached to the central truss segment, S0, and the Crew and
   Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) Cart A. The CETA is the first of two
   human-powered carts that will ride along the ISS railway, providing
   mobile work platforms for future spacewalking astronauts. The 11-day
   mission includes three spacewalks. Launch is scheduled for Oct. 2
   between 2 and 6 p.m.
