On mission STS-105, the seven-member crew will berth the 4.5-ton Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) to the International Space Station. Leonardo, which will be used to carry laboratory racks filled with equipment, experiments and supplies to and from the Station, will be attached to the Station using the Shuttle’s robot arm. The Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS) tank, which will provide intermediate ammonia resupply to the Station’s cooling system, will be installed during two spacewalks. The EAS is attached to SPACEHAB’s Integrated Cargo Carrier along with other tools and equipment.

The three-member Expedition Two ISS crew will return to Earth following eight days of docked operations and will be replaced by the three-member Expedition Three crew. The STS-105 crew includes Commander Scott Horowitz, Pilot Rick Sturckow, and Mission Specialists Patrick Forrester and Daniel Barry, as well as Frank Culbertson, Vladimir Nikolaevich Dezhurov and Mikhail Tyurin, the Expedition Three crew members.
