Space Shuttle Mission 2007 received today a new Service Pack which includes:
- New Mission – STS-98
- New SPEC 96 GPC SM mode for RMS LIM management
- Virtual Cockpit enhancements
- Performance tuning
- Adjustments across all missions
STS-98 started with the liftoff of the Space Shuttle Atlantis on Feb 7th, 2001. The mission's highlight was the delivery and installation of the USA Destiny Lab at the International Space Station. Mission Specialists Tom Jones and Robert Curbeam conducted three space walks during the mission totaling nearly 20 hours of Extra Vehicular Activity.
The Destiny lab is at the center of scientific exploration aboard the orbiting outpost, and sports a first for ISS: a special optical glass window through which the crew can look outside and take high quality pictures of Earth.
STS-98 concluded with an uneventful Atlantis landing at Edwards AFB on February 20th, 2001.
