STS-104 (Atlantis)

 2001-028A


Transfer of Atlantis to the VAB was delayed while the tiles were dried out; they had been soaked while at Edwards and moisture was still trapped almost three months later. Problems on orbit with the SSRMS delayed the launch further.

Launch mass is 117127 kg (press kit). OMS 2 mass is 116074 kg. Pre docking mass is 111066 kg. Docked mass with ISS is 231515 kg. Post undocking mass is 100606 kg, post sep 100572 kg. OV launch mass 117127 kg. Airlock 6063 kg. Landing mass 94007 kg.

The astronauts removed thermal covers from Quest. They returned to the airlock briefly while it was unberthed, but then emerged again to go to Unity to monitor its installation.
