Launch from Cape Canaveral; landing on Cape
Canaveral (KSC). Following a two day solo flight the Discovery docked with the ISS on March 10, 2001. The crew replaced the expedition 1 crew. James Voss and Yuri Usachyov performed a first station based spacewalk (IVA) on the ISS on June 08, 2001 (19 minutes) to install a docking cone assembly for the arrival of a new Russian built docking compartment, scheduled for late 2001. Several technical problems with the Canadian built remote manipulator system (Canadarm2) occured. The resident crew performed scientific work onboard the station (18 different science experiments). Two cargo spacecrafts were unloaded. During this expedition, research facilities launched to the Space Station included a Human Research Facility, two EXPRESS (Expedite the Processing of Experiments to the Space Station) Racks, one of which contains the Active Rack Isolation System and the Payload Equipment Restraint System. They also prepared the Destiny laboratory to enable upcoming experiments to be conducted. During the stay on board of the ISS the crew of expedition 2 carried out the following scientific experiments: ADVASC (Advanced Astroculture), ARIS-ICE (Active Rack Isolation System - ISS Characterization Experiment), ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station), BBND (Bonner Ball Neutron Detector), Biosfera (Investigation of a Closed Ecological System), Brados (Acquisition of Data About the Radiological, Electromagnetic and Different Physical Environments on Board ISS, and Their Effects on the Safety of the Crew, Space Equipment and Materials), Cardio-ODNT (Dynamics of the Main Factors of Cardiac Function, of Central and Regional Circulation in Rest and During the Influence of Lower Body Negative Pressure), CEO (Crew Earth Observations), CGBA-APS (Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus - Antibiotic Production in Space), Clinical Nutrition Assessment (Clinical Nutrition Assessment of ISS Astronauts, SMO-016E), CPCF-2 (Commercial Protein Crystallization Factory - 2: Producing Protein Crystals with Highly Refined Crystal Structure for the Development of New-Generation Medicines), CPCG-H (Commercial Protein Crystal Growth - High Density), Diatomeya (Stability of Geographical Position and Configuration of Borders of Bioproductive Water Zones of the World Oceans, Observations by Orbition Station Crews), DOSMAP (Dosimetric Mapping), EarthKAM (Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle School Students), Environmental Monitoring (Environmental Monitoring of the International Space Station), EXPPCS (EXPRESS Physics of Colloids in Space), Farma (Characteristics of Pharmacological Responses (absorption, distribution and elimination of acetominophene) in Long Duration Space Flight), H-Reflex (Effects of Altered Gravity on Spinal Cord Excitability), Identifikatsia (Identification of the Sources of Dynamic Loads on ISS ), Inflight Education Downlinks (International Space Station Inflight Education Downlinks), Infrazvuk-M (Integrated Research of Electromagnetic and Acoustical Fields of Extremely Low Frequency Bands Inside the Russian Modules on ISS), Interactions (Crewmember and Crew-Ground Interaction During International Space Station Missions), Iskazheniye (Determination and Analysis of Magnetic Interference on ISS), ISS Acoustics (International Space Station Acoustic Measurement Program), Izgib (Effect of Performance of Flight and Science Activities on the Function of On-Orbit Systems on ISS (Mathematical Model)), Latent Virus (Incidence of Latent Virus Shedding During Space Flight), MACE-II (Middeck Active Control Experiment-II), Meteoroid (Recording Meteoroidal and Technogenic Particles on the External Surface of the Service Module of the Russian Segment of ISS), Paradont (Condition of Peridontal Tissues in Space Flight), PCG-EGN (Protein Crystal Growth-Enhanced Gaseous Nitrogen Dewar), PCG-STES-IDQC (Protein Crystal Growth-Single Locker Thermal Enclosure System-Improved Diffraction Quality of Crystals), PCG-STES-SA (Protein Crystal Growth-Single Locker Thermal Enclosure System-Science and Applications of Facility Hardware for Protein Crystal Growth), PCG-STES-VEKS (Protein Crystal Growth-Single Locker Thermal Enclosure System-Vapor Equilibrium Kinetics Studies), Plasma Crystal (Dusty and Liquid Plasma Crystals in Conditions of Microgravity), Poligen (Revealing Genotypical Characteristics, Defining Individual Differences in Resistance of Biological Oranisms to Factors of Long Duration Space Flight), Popular_Mechanics (Commercial Promotion of Popular Mechanics Journal), Privyazka (Development of High Precision Orientation of Scientific Devices in Space with Reports of Deformation of the ISS Hull), Prognoz (Development of a Method of Operational Prediction of Work Load on Crew Piloting Objectives), SKR (Skorpion: Development and Acquisition of Multifunctional Control-Measurement Device for Controlling the Environment of Scientific Experiments Inside a Pressurized Station), Subregional_Bone (Subregional Assessment of Bone Loss in the Axial Skeleton in Long-term Space Flight), Tenzor (Definition of Dynamic Characteristics of ISS), Torso (Organ Dose Measurement Using the Phantom Torso), Uragan (Hurricane: Experimental Development of Groundbased System of Monitoring and Predicting the Progression of a Naturally Occurring Technogenic Catastrophe), Vektor-T (Study of a High Precision System for Prediction Motion of ISS), Vzglyad (Photographing the Interior of ISS). Common work with the visiting crews of STS-100 (April 21, - April 29, 2001), Soyuz TM-32 (April 30, - May 06, 2001) and STS-104 (July 14, - July 22, 2001) was done. STS-102 was the first use of the Multi Purpose Logistics Module (Leonardo) to bring supplies to the station. Also carried an Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC). The ICC had the External Stowage Platform-1 mounted on its underside. ESP-1 was placed on the port side of 'Destiny' as a storage location for ORUs. The mission also included two spacewalks to relocate the units carried up by the ICC to the Destiny module exterior. The highest priority objectives of the flight STS-100 were the installation, activation and checkout of the Canadarm2 robotic arm on the station. The operation of the arm is critical to the capability to continue assembly of the International Space Station, and was also necessary to attach a new airlock to the station on the subsequent shuttle flight. Primary objectives of STS-104 were to install the Quest Joint Airlock. The Joint Airlock is 20 ft (6.1 m) long, 13 ft (4.0 m) in diameter and weighs 6.5 short tons (5.9 metric tons). The Joint Airlock is a pressurized flight element consisting of two cylindrical chambers attached end-to-end by a connecting bulkhead and hatch. It should give the ISS resident crews the possibility to perform EVAs without using a Space Shuttle airlock. |
