| KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -– In
the final few minutes before launch, the Orbiter Access Arm at Launch
Pad 39B retracts away from the Space Shuttle, the Auxiliary Power
Units start and Shuttle Endeavour's main engines and elevons are
rotated. Top priorities for the STS-108 (UF-1) mission of Endeavour
are rotation of the International Space Station Expedition 3 and
Expedition 4 crews; bringing water, equipment and supplies to the
station in the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Raffaello; and the
crew's completion of robotics tasks and a spacewalk to install thermal
blankets over two pieces of equipment at the bases of the Space
Station's solar wings. |
