KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- The STS-105 and Expedition Three crews give thumbs up on 
another opportunity to launch after a 24-hour weather delay. In red shirts, seated left to 
right, are STS-105 Mission Specialists Patrick Forrester and Daniel Barry, Pilot Rick 
Sturckow and Commander Scott Horowitz. In blue shirts are the Expedition Three crew, 
Commander Frank Culbertson, Vladimir Dezhurov and Mikhail Tyurin. Dezhurov and Tyurin are 
cosmonauts with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency. Highlighting the mission will be the 
rotation of the International Space Station crew, the third flight of an Italian-built 
Multi-Purpose Logistics Module delivering additional scientific racks, equipment and 
supplies for the Space Station, and two spacewalks. Included in the payload is the Early 
Ammonia Servicer (EAS) tank, which will be attached to the Station during the spacewalks. 
The EAS will be installed on the P6 truss, which holds the Station’s giant U.S. solar 
arrays, batteries and the cooling radiators. The EAS contains spare ammonia for the 
Station’s cooling system. The three-member Expedition Two crew will be returning to Earth 
aboard Discovery after a five-month stay on the Station. Launch is scheduled for 5:15 p.m. 
EDT Aug. 10.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – Following the landing of mission STS-105, from left, Mission 
Specialist Daniel Barry, Commander Scott "Doc" Horowitz, and Pilot Frederick "Rick" 
Sturckow give a thumbs up in front of Space Shuttle Discovery on KSC's Shuttle Landing 
Facility runway 15, as post-landing safing operations continue on the orbiter. Main gear 
touchdown was at 2:22:58 p.m. EDT; wheel stop, at 2:24:06 p.m. EDT. The 11-day, 21-hour, 
12-minute STS-105 mission accomplished the goals set for the 11th flight to the 
International Space Station: swapout of the resident Station crew; delivery of equipment, 
supplies and scientific experiments; and installation of the Early Ammonia Servicer and 
heater cables for the S0 truss on the Station. Discovery traveled 4.3 million miles on its 
30th flight into space, the 106th mission of the Space Shuttle program. The landing was the 
first of five in 2001 to occur in daylight at KSC.
