The launch of the orbiter is shown.
On this eighth day of the STS-100 Endeavour mission, Mission Specialists Chris Hadfield and Scott Parazynski are seen preparing for and performing their spacewalks as they check the connections between the Destiny Laboratory Module and the Canadian Robotic Arm, remove an early communications antenna from the Unity Module, and confirm power connections for the Canadian Robotic Arm. Commander Kent Rominger is seen during a workout on Endeavour's ergometer.
On this fifth day of the STS-100 mission, the crews of Endeavour (Commander Kent Rominger, Pilot Jeffrey Ashby, and Mission Specialists Chris Hadfield, Scott Parazynski, John Phillips, Umberto Guidoni, and Yuri Valentinovich Lonchakov) and the Expedition 2 crew (Commander Yuriy Usachev and Flight Engineers James Voss and Susan Helms) are seen greeting each other after opening the connecting hatches between Endeavour and the International Space Station (ISS). Parazynski uses the newly installed Canadian Robotic Arm to lift the Rafaello Module out of the payload bay of Endeavour and install it onto the Destiny Laboratory Module on the ISS. Ashby, Hadfield, and Parazynski answer questions about the mission during an on-orbit press conference. Ashby and Parazynski give a guided video tour of the interior of the ISS/Endeavour complex.
On this second day of the STS-100 mission, the crewmembers of Endeavour (Commander Kent Rominger, Pilot Jeffrey Ashby, and Mission Specialists Chris Hadfield, Scott Parazynski, John Phillips, Umberto Guidoni, and Yuri Valentinovich Lonchakov) are seen during various preparations for the upcoming docking procedure with the International Space Station (ISS). Footage shows Hadfield and Parazynski checking their spacesuits and the tools they will use on the first spacewalk. The Shuttle's robotic arm is used to survey the payload bay of Endeavour and to check on the Canadian Robotic Arm. Expedition 2 crewmembers Susan Helms and Jim Voss are seen in the Destiny Laboratory Module. The Canadian Robotic Arm is shown against a backdrop of Earth after it unfolds from the payload bay.
On this twelfth day of the STS-100 mission, the crewmembers of Atlantis, Commander Kent Rominger, Pilot Jeffrey Ashby, and Mission Specialists Chris Hadfield, Scott Parazynski, John Phillips, Umberto Guidoni, and Yuri Valentinovich Lonchakov, are seen in an on-orbit press conference as they answer questions from the press. Also shown is the approach and dock of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). The Expedition 2 crew, Commander Yuriy Usachev and Flight Engineers James Voss and Susan Helms, and the Soyuz crew greet each other and welcome space tourist Dennis Tito to the ISS.
On this seventh day of the STS-100 mission, the crewmembers of Endeavour, Commander Kent Rominger, Pilot Jeffrey Ashby, and Mission Specialists Chris Hadfield, Scott Parazynski, John Phillips, Umberto Guidoni, and Yuri Valentinovich Lonchakov, are seen as they unload equipment from the Rafaello Logistics Module. Guidoni and Rominger answer questions from the Italian and European Space Agencies in an on-orbit press conference. The computer glitch that delayed tests on the Canadian Robotic Arm and another boost to the International Space Station (ISS) is described.
On this tenth day of the STS-100 mission, the computer problems that delayed tests on the Canadian robotic arm are discussed between the Atlantis and Mission Ground Control. The Canadian robotic arm is seen after it lifts Spacelab from the pallet on Atlantis and moves to meet the Space Shuttle's robotic arm as it 'hands over' Spacelab to the smaller robotic arm. The Canadian robotic arm with Spacelab are seen against a backdrop of Earth as the Space Shuttle and International Space Station pass to the northeast of Australia.
On this ninth day of the STS-100 mission, Commander Kent Rominger and Mission Specialist Chris Hadfield answer questions about the mission in an on-orbit press conference. The Expedition 2 crew, Commander Yuriy Usachev and Flight Engineers James Voss and Susan Helms, answer questions about their mission and the Canadian Robotic Arm in another on-orbit press conference. The Rafaello Logistics Module is removed from the Unity Module on the International Space Station and transfers it to the payload bay of Atlantis.
On this eleventh day of the STS-100 mission, the Atlantis Orbiter undocks from the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS is seen against a backdrop of Earth and space as Atlantis performs its flyaround of the station.
On this eighth day of the STS-100 mission, the crewmembers of Endeavour, Commander Kent Rominger, Pilot Jeffrey Ashby, and Mission Specialists Chris Hadfield, Scott Parazynski, John Phillips, Umberto Guidoni, and Yuri Valentinovich Lonchakov, are seen reloading the Rafaello Logistics Module. External views of the International Space Station (ISS) are shown against a backdrop of Earth as Mission Ground Control and the Atlantis crew discuss the efforts to fix the glitch in the ISS' computer system.
On this fourth day of the STS-100 mission, Mission Specialists Chris Hadfield and Scott Parazynski are seen performing their spacewalks, where they work on the electrical connections between the Destiny Laboratory and the Canadian Robotic Arm, remove the ultrahigh frequency antenna from the pallet and install it onto Destiny, and raise the Robotic Arm to prepare it for deployment. The fully deployed Robotic Arm is seen against a backdrop of Earth.
On this first day of the STS-104 mission, the crewmembers of Atlantis, Commander Steven Lindsey, Pilot Charles Hobaugh, and Mission Specialists Michael Gernhardt, James Reilly, and Janet Kavandi, are seen during the ceremonial breakfast before launch. The launch of Atlantis is shown, and exterior video scans of the orbiter show the payload bay after the bay doors are opened.
On this second day of the STS-104 mission, the Space Shuttle Atlantis continues its approach to the International Space Station. External scans of the orbiter show the robotic arm checkout as it passes over the southern Pacific Ocean and Australia.
On this third day of the STS-104 mission, the Atlantis Orbiter approaches and docks with the International Space Station (ISS). The crew of STS-104, Commander Steven Lindsey, Pilot Charles Hobaugh, and Mission Specialists Michael Gernhardt, James Reilly, and Janet Kavandi, and the Expedition 2 crew, Commander Yuriy Usachev and Flight Engineers James Voss and Susan Helms, are seen as they open the hatches between Atlantis and the ISS.
