Space Shuttle: Discovery
Crew: Commander Alan G. Poindexter, Pilot James P. Dutton Jr., Mission Specialists Clayton C. Anderson, Rick Mastracchio, Dorothy M. Metcalf-Lindenburger, Stephanie D. Wilson, Naoko Yamazaki
During STS-131, Discovery delivered a multi-purpose logistics module filled with science racks that were transferred to laboratories on the International Space Station. The mission featured three spacewalks performed by Mastracchio and Anderson. They replaced an ammonia tank assembly, retrieved a Japanese experiment from the station’s exterior and switched out a rate gyro assembly on the S0 element of the station’s truss. STS-131 was the 33rd shuttle mission to the station.
