MS. STILSON: We've heard about all the hard work behind the scenes to prepare the hardware for space flight, but let's take a closer look at the seven people who will ultimately make the Return to Flight mission a success, the STS-114 crew. Music. MS. COLLINS: Primarily STS-114 is a resupply, reservicing, repair of the International Space Station. MR. KELLY: I am the robotics operator on both the Shuttle arm doing, helping out with all the inspection process with the inspection boom and sensors and all those things. MR. NOGUCHI: Yeah, on the first EVA, the first spacewalk will be mainly dedicated to the demonstration of the repair techniques. MR. ROBINSON: And Soichi Noguchi and I will do three different spacewalks on the fifth, seventh and ninth days of the mission. MR. THOMAS: The Space Station is teaching us what is required of us as humans to live and function in space. It's teaching us what is the onsequence of living in space on us as human beings. MS. LAWRENCE: We have a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module in the payload bay that's going to be carrying thousands of pounds of equipment and food and other items for the Space Station. And so we'll install that on flight-day four. MR. CAMARDA: And we basically position the orbiter beneath the Space Station about 600 feet below and Eileen and Vegas will put the orbiter into a pitch maneuver which basically pirouettes or rotates 360 degrees.
