STS-116 Mission Specialist Christer Fuglesang (right) (European Space Agency) practices using a tool that is part of the equipment for the mission. He joined STS-118 crew members for the familiarization activities in the Space Station Processing Facility. The STS-116 mission will deliver the third port truss segment, the P5 Truss, to attach to the second port truss segment, the P3/P4 Truss. The STS-118 mission will be delivering and installing the third starboard truss segment, the ITS S5, to the International Space Station, and carry a SPACEHAB Single Cargo Module with supplies and equipment. Launch dates for both missions are under review.
