1 Mission: STS-97 Nov. 30, 2000 Dec. 11, 2000 Brent W. Jett, Jr., commander Michael J. Bloomfield, pilot Marc Garneau, mission specialist Carlos I. Noriega, mission specialist Joseph R. Tanner, mission specialist The astronauts completed three spacewalks, or EVAs, to deliver and connect the first set of U.S.-provided solar arrays to the International Space Station, prepare a docking port for arrival of the U.S. Laboratory Destiny, install Floating Potential Probes to measure electrical potential surrounding the station, install a camera cable outside the Unity module, and transfer supplies, equipment and refuse between space shuttle Endeavour and the station. On Flight Day 3, Commander Brent Jett linked space shuttle Endeavour to the International Space Station while 230 statute miles above northeast Kazakhstan.

2 Mission: STS-112 October 7, 2002 October 18, 2002 Jeffrey S. Ashby, commander Pamela A. Melroy, pilot Sandra H. Magnus, mission specialist Piers J. Sellers, mission specialist David A. Wolf, mission specialist Fyodor Yurchikhin, (Russian cosmonaut) mission specialist Primary payloads were the S1 integrated truss segment and the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) Cart A. The CETA is the first of two humanpowered carts that will ride along the International Space Station railway, providing mobile work platforms for future spacewalking astronauts. Activities included three spacewalks to attach the S1 truss to the space station. Other chores were repairing the station's exercise treadmill; adjusting protective circuits that measure current in the S1 truss radiator assembly to greater tolerance levels for space; removing and replacing a humidity separator in the Quest airlock. Final activities on the space station included transferring the last of the equipment and supplies from space shuttle Atlantis, and packing items for return on the orbiter. In all, 1,800 pounds were transferred and an equivalent amount stored for the journey back.

3 Mission: STS-122 February 7, 2008 February 20, 2008 Stephen N. Frick, commander Alan G. Poindexter, pilot Léopold Eyharts, European Space Agency (ESA) mission specialist Stanley G. Love, mission specialist Leland D. Melvin, mission specialist Hans Schlegel, European Space Agency (ESA) mission specialist Rex J. Walheim, mission specialist Space shuttle Atlantis delivered the European Space Agency's Columbus Laboratory to the International Space Station. STS-122 was the 24th shuttle mission to the International Space Station.

4 Mission: STS-125 May 11, 2009 May 24, 2009 Scott. D. Altman, commander Gregory C. Johnson, pilot Andrew J. Feustel, mission specialist Michael T. Good, mission specialist John M. Grunsfeld, mission specialist Michael J. Massimino, mission specialist K. Megan McArthur, mission specialist Space shuttle Atlantis astronauts repaired and upgraded the Hubble Space Telescope, conducting five spacewalks during their mission to extend the life of the orbiting observatory. They successfully installed two new instruments and repaired two others, bringing them back to life, replaced gyroscopes and batteries, and added new thermal insulation panels to protect the orbiting observatory. The result is six working, complementary science instruments with capabilities beyond what was available and an extended operational lifespan until at least 2014.

5 Mission: STS-130 February 8, 2010 February 21, 2010 George D. Zamka, commander Terry Virts, pilot Robert L. Behnken, mission specialist Kathryn P. Hire, mission specialist Nicholas Patrick, mission specialist Stephen K. Robinson, mission specialist Space shuttle Endeavour delivered a third connecting module - the Tranquility node - to the International Space Station and a seven-windowed cupola to be used as a control room for robotics. The mission featured three spacewalks. STS-130 was the 32nd shuttle mission to the station.

6 Mission: STS-135 July 8, 2011 July 21, 2011 Christopher J. Ferguson, commander Douglas G. Hurley, pilot Sandra H. Magnus, mission specialist Rex J. Walheim, mission specialist Space shuttle Atlantis carried the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies, logistics and spare parts to the International Space Station. The mission also flew a system to investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing spacecraft and returned a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. Final space shuttle flight.
