A New Truss for the International Space Station
Astronauts on the Space Shuttle Atlantis were installing a new truss segment on the International Space Station in April 2002. This S0 truss, over 13 meters long, was lifted from the shuttle's cargo bay by the station's robotic arm. It routes power, vents heat, and allows for future expansion of the ISS.
