STS-117 is a Space Shuttle mission that will deliver the second starboard truss segment and energy systems to the International Space Station, the S3/S4 Truss and set of solar arrays. Starting with this mission, all remainig space shuttle launches will be from pad 39A, as pad B will be deactivated after the launch of the Hubble servicing mission, STS-125, so it can be modified to support Project Constellation.

[edit] Mission highlights

The STS-117 mission will deliver the second starboard truss segment and energy systems to the International Space Station, the S3/S4 Truss and set of solar arrays.

This will probably be the first flight with the modified ice frost ramps allowing to further diminish foam shedding during launch.

[edit] STS-317

STS-317 is the designation given to the Contingency Shuttle Crew Support mission which would be launched in the event Space Shuttle Discovery became disabled during STS-116. It is a modified version of the STS-117 mission, which would involve the launch date being brought forward. If needed, it would launch no earlier than February 21, 2007. The crew for this mission is a 4 person subset of the full STS-117 crew.
