Mission highlights
STS-111 launches from Kennedy Space Center , 5 June 2002.
STS-111 lands at Edwards Air Force Base , 19 June 2002.
STS-111, in addition to providing supplies, rotated the crews aboard the International Space Station , exchanging the three Expedition 4 members (1 Russian, 2 American) for the three Expedition 5 members (2 Russian, 1 American).
The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) carried experiment racks and three stowage and resupply racks to the station. The mission also installed a component of the Canadarm2 called the Mobile Base System (MBS) to the Mobile Transporter (MT) (which was installed during STS-110 ); This was the second component of the Canadian Mobile Servicing System , or MSS. This gave the mechanical arm the capability to "inchworm" from the U.S. Lab fixture to the MBS and travel along the Truss to work sites.
STS-111 was the last flight of a CNES astronaut, the French agency having disbanded its astronaut group and transferred them to the ESA .
