Expedition Report

Launch from Baikonur (Yurchikhin and Kotov). Anderson arrived with STS-117.

First EVA by Yurchikhin and Kotov on 30.05.2007 (5h 25m) to install orbital debris protection panels on the Zvezda Service Module and replace experiments on the hull of Zvezda.

Second EVA by Yurchikhin and Kotov on 06.06.2007 (5h 37m) to install a section of Ethernet cable on the Zarya module, install additional Service Module Debris Protection (SMDP) panels on Zvezda, and deploy a Russian scientific experiment.

Third EVA by Yurchikhin and Anderson on 23.07.2007 (7h 41m) to replace a failed power controller on the station's truss, jettison a refrigerator-sized ammonia reservoir tank and clean seals on a docking port on the Unity module.

Next EVA by STS-118 crew member Mastracchio and Anderson on 15.08.2007 (5h 28m) to prepare the relocation of the P6 truss segment on the STS-120 mission, move two equipment carts from the right to left side of the station and relocate an antenna and upgrade avionics and communication systems. This EVA had to be shortened because of a damage to the left thumb of Mastracchio's spacesuit glove. At no time was Mastracchio in any danger, NASA said, but flight rules required Mastracchio to end his spacewalking task as a precaution.

EVA by STS-118 crew member Williams and Anderson on 18.08.2007 (5h 02m) to install support equipment on the S1 truss that will allow for an addition to the inspection boom during the STS-123 mission, and to install a system to provide better wireless video coverage during future missions.

Common work with the visiting crews of STS-117 (10. - 19.06.2007) and STS-118 (10. - 19.08.2997).
