The main purpose of STS-110 was to attach the S0 Truss segment to the
International Space Station (ISS) to theDestiny Laboratory Module . It forms the backbone of the station to which the S1 and P1 truss segments were attached (on the following missionsSTS-112 andSTS-113 , respectively).STS-110 also delivered the Mobile Transporter (MT), which is an 885 kg (1,950 lb) assembly that glides down rails on the station integrated trusses. During the next shuttle mission,
STS-111 , the Mobile Base System (MBS) was mounted to the MT. ThisMobile Servicing System (MSS) allows the Canadarm2 to travel down the length of the installed truss structure.Docking with ISS
