STS-110 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Atlantis. The mission launched on April 8, 2002, and was the thirteenth shuttle mission to visit the ISS. The primary objective of the mission was to install the S0 (S-zero) Truss, which would serve as the backbone of the ISS's truss structure and provide a mounting point for solar arrays, radiators, and other equipment. The mission also included the installation of a robotic arm extension on the station.
The STS-110 mission patch features the Space Shuttle Atlantis with the International Space Station in the foreground and the Earth in the background. The patch also includes the mission slogan "Building a New Gateway to the Stars" and the names of the seven crew members.
During the mission, the crew of Atlantis successfully installed the S0 Truss and a robotic arm extension on the ISS. They also delivered supplies and equipment to the station and conducted a spacewalk to perform maintenance on the station's exterior. The mission was considered a major success and helped to further the construction and expansion of the ISS.
