Flight

Launch from Cape Canaveral (KSC); landing on Cape Canaveral (KSC); ISS-16-11A.

Docking with ISS; Bowersox, Budarin and Pettit serve as ISS expedition 6.

New $ 390 million P1 solar array truss segment, a 13,7 meters-long, 12,5-ton beam packed with computers, a complex ammonia cooling system and other equipment, was attached to the station.

EVA by Lopez-Alegria and Herrington on 26.11.2002 (6h 45m) to hook up connections between the P1 and S0 trusses and other installations; second EVA by Lopez-Alegria and Herrington on 28.11.2002 (6h 10m) to install the fluid jumpers where the S0 and the P1 are attached to each other, to remove the P1's starboard keel pin and to relocate the CETA cart from the P1 to the S1 Truss, which will allow the Mobile Transporter to move along the P1 to assist in upcoming assembly mission; third and final EVA by Lopez-Alegria and Herrington on 30.11.2002 (7h 00m) to install more SPD's (Spool Positioning Devices), to reconfigure electrical harnesses that route power through the Main Bus Switching Units and to attach Ammonia Tank Assembly lines.

Mission was extended three days due of bad weather on Cape Canaveral (KSC).

Note

Bowersox, Budarin and Pettit landed on 04.05.2003, 02:04 UT with Soyuz TMA-1-spacecraft.
