STS-112 to Deliver S1 Truss to Station, Conduct 3 Spacewalks
STS-112 will set the stage for the outward expansion of the International Space Station with the delivery of the S1 (S-One) Truss. The STS-112 crew will perform three spacewalks to install, activate and outfit the S1, which will be attached to the starboard end of the S0 (S-Zero) Truss.
Astronaut Jeff Ashby is STS-112's commander and Astronaut Pam Melroy will serve as pilot. Astronauts Sandy Magnus, David Wolf and Piers Sellers and Cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin are mission specialists. Wolf and Sellers will conduct the spacewalks.
STS-112 will be the 15th shuttle mission to visit the space station and the 26th flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis.
