STS-113 was an Assembly Mission (11A) to the International Space Station, delivering the P1 Truss segment, which provides structural support for the Space Station radiators.

Following a two day solo flight the Endeavour docked to the ISS on November 25, 2002. Kenneth Bowersox, Nikolai Budarin and Donald Pettit served as ISS expedition six. The expedition five crew Peggy Whitson, Valeri Korzun and Sergei Treshchyov returned to Earth with this mission.

The new $ 390 million P1 solar array truss segment, a 13.7 meters long, 12,5-ton beam packed with computers, a complex ammonia cooling system and other equipment, was attached to the station.

The first EVA by Michael Lopez-Alegria and John Herrington occured on November 26, 2002 (6h 45m) to hook up connections between the P1 and S0 trusses and other installations.

The second EVA was performed by Michael Lopez-Alegria and John Herrington on November 28, 2002 (6h 10m) to install the fluid jumpers where the S0 and the P1 are attached to each other, to remove the P1's starboard keel pin and to relocate the CETA cart from the P1 to the S1 Truss, which will allow the Mobile Transporter to move along the P1 to assist in upcoming assembly mission.

The third and final EVA was again performed by Michael Lopez-Alegria and John Herrington on November 30, 2002 (7h 00m) to install more SPD's (Spool Positioning Devices), to reconfigure electrical harnesses that route power through the Main Bus Switching Units and to attach Ammonia Tank Assembly lines.

Also carried aboard STS-113 was the Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMS) based Pico Satellite Inspector. This payload deployed two small satellites which are connected via a 15 metres (49 ft) tether.

The mission was extended three days due of bad weather on Cape Canaveral (KSC).

Kenneth Bowersox, Nikolai Budarin and Donald Pettit landed on May 04, 2003, 02:04 UTC with Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft.
