		Cockrell, Pilot Mark Polansky and Mission Specialists Bob Curbeam, Marsha Ivins and Tom Jones were greeted by high, thin clouds at Edwards, but they posed no problem for Cockrell as he took over manual control of Atlantis a few minutes prior to landing.
		Inside the shuttle, Marsha Ivins operated Atlantis' robotic arm, latching on to the docking port and, with visual cues provided by Jones and Curbeam, removing it from a location on the station truss where it had been temporarily stowed on Saturday.
		Jones provided Ivins visual cues as she moved the adapter to its temporary position, and Curbeam removed protective launch covers and disconnected power and cooling cables between the Destiny lab and Atlantis.

		Marsha Ivins uses the shuttle's robot arm to move U.S. lab Destiny into position on the international space station.
		With limited camera views and and no direct lines of vision, Ivins had to rely on the assistance of her spacewalking crewmates to guide her with the maneuvering of Destiny, which had just 2 inches of clearance on either side.

		Short in stature and wafer thin, cosmic construction worker Marsha Ivins nevertheless stands poised to hoist a 16-ton science laboratory out of shuttle Atlantis' cargo bay with the ship's robot arm - a tough task considering tight clearances of an inch (2.5 centimeters) or less.
		With the looming station blocking her view, Ivins then will rely on TV cameras as she attempts a daring bit of orbital baton twirling, flipping the $1.4 billion lab so it can be so it can be mounted atop the 13-story outpost.
		Coming on the heels of a three-week delay to address dangerous solid-fuel rocket booster problems, Ivins and the Atlantis crew now are scheduled to blast off from Kennedy Space Center Wednesday with the U.S. Destiny lab in tow.

		IVINS: When we bring the crew something in their crew care package, it's personal items for them and I think we'll just leave it at that.
		We're really busy when we first get to orbit, and the veterans, especially Marsha, made sure that when the first chance I had to get out of my pilot's seat and have a free moment, she stuck my face in the window so I could see the Earth.

		And the station has a ways to go before it resembles Mir, which "had its own odor, like 12 years in a sock closet," quips Marsha Ivins, a veteran of five shuttle flights who is currently assigned to the Johnson center.
		The results, though anecdotal, seem promising: the shirts "were encrusted with salt, but they did not smell," Ivins reports.
		But she notes that "we have now the opportunity to look at new materials and new technologies, and one of these may turn out to be the Velcro of the future." A springtime-fresh Velcro, perhaps.
