Space Shuttle Atlantis seems surrounded by birds - most likely pelicans - as it roars into the clear blue sky on mission STS-110. Liftoff occurred on April 8, 2002 at 3:44:19 p.m. EDT (20:41:19 GMT). Carrying the S0 Integrated Truss Structure and Mobile Transporter, STS-110 is the 13th assembly flight to the International Space Station.
