The main focus of these extravehicular activities, or EVAs, will be the installation, outfitting and activation of the S1 (S-One) Truss. All three spacewalks will be based out of the station's Quest Airlock.

The first spacewalk of the Space Shuttle program occurred during STS-6 in April 1983. Astronauts Donald H. Peterson and F. Story Musgrave used new space suits designed specifically for the Space Shuttle as they performed various tests in the payload bay of Shuttle Challenger.
