KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Astronaut Peggy Whitson, a member of the Expedition 5 crew, points to a part of the equipment she is using as part of familiarization for the mission. She and other crew members Commander Valeri Korzun and Sergei Treschev will be traveling to the International Space Station on mission STS-111 and will be replacing the Expedition 4 crew. Part of the payload on STS-111 will be the Mobile Base System, to be installed installed on the Mobile Transporter to complete the Canadian Mobile Servicing System, or MSS.
