Video coverage available as the crew of NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis returns from orbit about the Earth and the International Space Station on September 21, 2006.          

The video appears at the NASAspaceflight.com website titled “Riding aboard Atlantis during re-entry”.

STS-115 was the first mission of the Space Shuttle to the International Space Station since the disaster involving the Space Shuttle Columbia.

The crew of STS-115 lifted off on September 9 for its twelve-day mission to deliver the second port-side truss segment (P3/P4), a pair of solar arrays (2A/4A), and batteries to the station. The crew also performed three spacewalks to install the trusses, prepare them for deployment, and other general maintenance work.
