Mission Highlights

Deliver the International Space Station (ISS) Center Integrated Truss Assembly (ITS) Starbord 0 (S-Zero) and the Mobile Transporter (MT). The S0 Truss is 13.4 meters (44 ft) long and 4.6 meters (15 ft) wide. It weighs 12,247 kg (27,000 lb) and forms the center backbone of the Space Station. During the mission it will be attached to the US Lab module. S0 is used to route power to the pressurized station modules and conduct heat away from the modules to the S1 (Flight 9A / STS-112) and P1 Trusses (Flight 11A / STS-113).

The Mobile Transporter (MT) is a 885 kg (1,950 lb) assembly that will glide down rails on the station integrated trusses. During STS-111 the Mobile Base System (MBS) will be mounted to the MT. This Mobile Servicing System (MSS) will allow the Canadarm2 to travel down the length of the installed truss structure.
