MECO stands for "Main Engine Cutoff". At this point, the shuttle is flying only with its three main engines. At MECO a sequence of events happens including throttling power back on the engines and the final result is that the main engines of the shuttle are shut down. Soon after this, the external tank is cut free since it's now mostly drained of fuel and oxidizer.
