| KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -– About two minutes following launch, the solid rocket boosters separate from the external tank. The primary objective of STS-104 is to install the joint airlock module to the International Space Station. The airlock will be the primary path for Space Station spacewalk entry and departure for U.S. spacesuits, and will also support the Russian Orlan spacesuit for EVA activity. | ||||||||||||||||
