STS-100 was aSpace Shuttle mission to theInternational Space Station (ISS) flown bySpace Shuttle Endeavour. STS-100 launched on 19 April 2001, and installed the ISSCanadarm2 robotic arm.

The highest priority objectives of the flight were the installation, activation and checkout of theCanadarm2 robotic arm on the station. The arm -manufactured byMDA Space Missions under contract of the Canadian Space Agency and NASA, went into operation on 28 April 2001. It was critical to the capability to continue assembly of theInternational Space Station.[3] The arm was also necessary to attach a newairlock to the station on the subsequent shuttle flight, missionSTS-104. The final component of the Canadarm is the Mobile Base System (MBS), which was installed on board the station during theSTS-111 flight.
Other major objectives forEndeavour's mission were to berth theRaffaello logistics module to the station, activate it, transfer cargo betweenRaffaello and the station, and reberthRaffaello in the shuttle's payload bay.Raffaello is the second of three Italian Space Agency-developedMulti-Purpose Logistics Module, manufactured out of stainless steel at theCannes Mandelieu Space Center; that were launched to the station. TheLeonardo module was launched and returned on the previous shuttle flight,STS-102, in March.
Remaining objectives included the transfer of other equipment to the station such as anUltra-High Frequency communications antenna and a spare electronics component to be attached to the exterior during space walks. Finally, the transfer of supplies and water for use aboard the station, the transfer of experiments and experiment racks to the complex, and the transfer of items for return to Earth from the station to the shuttle were among the objectives.
Endeavour also boosted the station's altitude and performed a flyaround survey of the complex, including recording views of the station with an IMAX cargo bay camera.
All objectives were completed without incident, and reentry and landing happened uneventfully on 1 May 2001.
During this mission, astronautChris Hadfield made the firstspacewalk by a Canadian.[4]

| Parazynski and Hadfield deployed aUHF antenna on theDestiny lab. After that, the pair began installing theCanadarm2. Parazynski and Hadfield encountered a problem ensuring the proper torque was applied to the bolt. The pair switched the Pistol Grip Tool (PGT) to manual mode and attempted again successfully. Hadfield experienced severe eye irritation during the spacewalk due to the anti-fog solution used to polish his spacesuit visor, temporarily blinding him and forcing him to vent oxygen into space. Other astronauts experienced a similar problem on subsequent spacewalks.[4] | ||||

NASA began a tradition of playing music to astronauts during theGemini program, which was first used to wake up a flight crew duringApollo 15.[6]Each track is specially chosen, often by their families, and usually has a special meaning to an individual member of the crew, or is applicable to their daily activities.[6][7]
