As the final inspection team and close out crew entered the pad, the excitement in the air was palpable. With weather conditions looking good, the countdown to liftoff began. And when the Astro Van carrying the STS-132 Atlantis crew arrived at the pad, the cheers from the crowd were deafening.
As the crew members boarded Atlantis, their launch and entry suits were carefully checked and double-checked. And as they settled into their seats, you could see the determination and focus on their faces. For some, this would be their first spaceflight, while others were seasoned veterans. But all of them knew that they had a job to do, and they were ready to do it.
And then, the moment we had all been waiting for arrived. With the launch director’s go-ahead, the Orbiter Access Arm retracted, and Atlantis was ready for liftoff. As the countdown continued, the excitement in the air was electric.
And then, with a deafening roar, Atlantis lifted off the pad and into the sky. The power of the engines was incredible, and you could feel the vibration in your chest. As the shuttle soared higher and higher, the view from the ground was simply awe-inspiring.
For eight and a half minutes, Atlantis continued its ascent into space, until finally, it reached orbit. And as the crew settled in for their journey, you could see the sense of accomplishment and pride on their faces.
