Atlantis Space Station

The crews of the international space station and that of Atlantis greeted each other wuth handshakes and hugs Sunday when the space shuttle arrived at the orbiting outpost. At the same time engineers, in Houston 220 miles below, started evaluating whether a peeled back thermal blanket should be fixed be the astronauts. A decision will probably be made in the next day or two and if the decision is to fix it, then another decision will be made as to whether it should be done during one of the space walks planned.
