STS-110 was aSpace Shuttle mission to theInternational Space Station (ISS) on 8–19 April 2002 flown bySpace ShuttleAtlantis. The main purpose was to install theS0 Truss segment, which forms the backbone of the truss structure on the station.

The main purpose ofSTS-110 was to attach the stainless steelS0 Truss segment to theInternational Space Station (ISS) to theDestiny Laboratory Module. It forms the backbone of the station to which the S1 and P1 truss segments were attached (on the following missionsSTS-112 andSTS-113, respectively).
STS-110 also delivered the Mobile Transporter (MT), which is an 885 kilograms (1,951 lb) (1,950 lb) assembly that glides down rails on the station integrated trusses. The MT was designed and manufactured by Astro Aerospace in Carpinteria, CA. During the next shuttle mission,STS-111, theMobile Base System (MBS) was mounted to the MT. ThisMobile Servicing System (MSS) allows the Canadarm2 to travel down the length of the installed truss structure.
After a launch scrub on 4 April 2002 due to a hydrogen leak,Space ShuttleAtlantis successfully launched on 8 April 2002, fromLaunch Complex 39B. The countdown on 8 April encountered an unscheduled hold at the T−5-minute mark due to data dropouts in a backupLaunch Processing System. The Launch Processing System team reloaded the required data and the countdown resumed. Liftoff occurred with 11 seconds remaining in the launch window.[2]
STS-110 was the first shuttle mission to feature the upgrade Block IImain engines, which featured an "improved fuel pump...a stronger integral shaft/disk, and more robust bearings". The intent of the upgrade was to increase the flight capacity of the engines, while increasing reliability and safety.[3]
With the launch of Atlantis, mission specialistJerry Ross became the first human to have traveled to space seven times.[4]
