Astronaut Clayton Anderson will also be flying on the mission to join the Expedition 15 crew on the International Space Station. During the 11-day mission and three spacewalks, the crew will work with flight controllers at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston to install a 17-ton segment on the station's girder-like truss and deploy a set of solar arrays, S3_S4. The mission will increase the space station's power capability in preparation for the arrival of new science modules from the European and Japanese space agencies.
