Launch and entry suits hang in readiness for the STS-111 crew
Launch and entry suits hang in readiness for the STS-111 crew. Launch was on June 5, 2002, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. STS-111 was the second Utilization Flight to the International Space Station, carrying the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo, the Mobile Base System (MBS), and a replacement wrist/roll joint for the Canadarm 2. Also onboard Space Shuttle Endeavour was the Expedition 5 crew who replaced Expedition 4 on board the Station. The MBS was installed on the Mobile Transporter to complete the Canadian Mobile Servicing System, or MSS. The mechanical arm then had the capability to "inchworm" from the U.S. Lab Destiny to the MSS and travel along the truss to work sites. Expedition 4 crew members returned to Earth with the STS-111 crew on Endeavour
