  February 7, 2008 
  
  Space Shuttle "Atlantis" has launched from LC-39A at the Kennedy Space Center on mission STS-122 to deliver the European Columbus module to the International Space Station. Liftoff occurred at 19:45 UTC, which is 14:45 local time at the launch site. "Atlantis" successfully reached orbit about eight and a half minutes later. 
  Columbus is the first research module to be added to the Space Station since 2001, and its launch came seven years to the day after the last research module, "Destiny" was launched, also aboard "Atlantis". Docking with the International Space Station, on the PMA-2 docking port, is scheduled for Saturday. Earlier today, a Progress spacecraft docked with the Space Station, carrying new supplies for the outpost. 
  The Shuttle is carrying a crew of seven Astronauts; Stephen Frick, Alan G. Poindexter, Leland D. Melvin, Rex J. Walheim, Hans Schlegel, Stanley G. Love, and Léopold Eyharts.
