STS-112
Launched: October 7, 2002, 3:45:51.074 p.m. EDT
Landing: October 18, 2002, 11:44:35 a.m. EDT, Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Space Shuttle: Atlantis
Crew: Commander Jeffrey Ashby, Pilot Pamela Melroy, Mission Specialists David Wolf, Piers Sellers, Sandra Magnus and Fyodor Yurchikhin
In another International Space Station mission, STS-112 transferred 1,800 pounds of supplies to the ISS. Activities included three spacewalks to attach the S1 truss to the space station. MS Sandra Magnus and ISS Science Officer Peggy Whitson lifted the 14-ton, 45-foot S1 truss from Atlantis' payload bay using the station's Canadarm2. They then attached it to the station with four remotely operated bolts. Other chores were repairing the station's exercise treadmill; adjusting protective circuits that measure current in the S1 truss radiator assembly to greater tolerance levels for space; removing and replacing a humidity separator in the Quest airlock.
