Flight

Launch from Cape Canaveral (KSC); landing on Edwards AFB; fifth Space Station Assembly Mission ISS-05-3A.

Docking with ISS and transfer ofequipment and supplies into the ISS.

First EVA by McArthur and Chiao on 15.10.2000 (6h 28m). The S-band Antenna Support Assembly was relocated on the Z1 Truss. The Z1 starboard bulkhead thermal shrouds were removed and stowed. The port Extravehicular Tool Storage Devices were released and transferred from the Spacelab Logistics Pallet to the Z1 Truss. The Z1-to-Node 1 umbilicals, or cables, were connected. The Space-to-Ground Antenna dish was installed onto the boom and the boom was deployed.

Second EVA by Wisoff and Lopez-Alegria on 16.10.2000 (7h 07m). the Pressurized Mating Adapter 3 was grappled by the shuttle's robotic arm and installed on the Unity Connecting Module nadir port. The primary and secondary cable bundles were connected between the Pressurized Mating Adapter 3 (PMA-3) and the Unity Module. Also, latches were opened on the Z1 Truss

Third EVA by McArthur and Chiao on 17.10.2000 (6h 48m). Two DC-to-DC Converter Unit-Heat Pipes were installed on Z1. The Z1 keel pin assembly was then relocated to another location on Z1. The Z1/P6 launch locks were removed, then the Assembly Power Converter Units jumpers were also removed from the Pressurized Mating Adapter 2 to allow for installation of four Z1 cables. The starboard Extravehicular Tool Storage Device was released and transferred from the Spacelab Logistics Pallet to the Z1 Truss.

Fourth and final EVA by Wisoff and Lopez-Alegria on 18.10.2000 (6h 56m). A grapple fixture on the Z1 Truss was removed. The Z1 utility tray was deployed and its umbilical launch restraints released. The Z1 Manual Berthing Mechanism latches was cycled and opened. Wisoff and Lopez-Alegria performed one safety protocol test -- a flight evaluation of SAFER, which means "simplified aid for EVA rescue".
