Flight

Launch from Cape Canaveral (KSC); landing on Edwards AFB; ISS LF1/MPLM 2-03.

Docking with ISS and common work with the ISS expedition 11.

First EVA by Robinson and Noguchi on 30.07.2005 (6h 50m) for testing thermal protection system repair techniques and installation of the External Stowage Platform-2 Attachment Device (ESPAD) on the space station; second EVA by Robinson and Noguchi on 01.08.2005 (7h 14m) to replace a failed International Space Station attitude control gyroscope; third and final EVA by Robinson and Noguchi on 03.08.2005 (6h 01m) to attach a massive external tool box to the space station's Quest airlock module, mounting an experiment package on the top of the station's solar array truss, and remove two "gap fillers" sticking up between heat shield tiles on Discovery's belly.

The mission was extended for one day due of bad weather in Florida.
