After arriving at the KSC Shuttle Landing Facility, STS-110 Mission Specialist Jerry Ross smiles in anticipation of his record-breaking seventh Space Shuttle flight, scheduled to launch April 4. Mission STS-110 is the 13th assembly flight to the International Space Station. During four planned spacewalks, Ross and other crew members will install the S0 Integrated Truss Structure (ITS), centerpiece of the orbiting International Space Station (ISS), at the center of the 10-truss, girderlike structure that will ultimately extend the length of a football field on the ISS. The S0 truss will be attached to the U.S. Lab, "Destiny," on the 11-day mission
