Atlantis flew the first outfitting mission to the partly built International Space Station, with the Zarya module overdue for service. The crew swapped out Zarya's batteries, smoke detectors, cooling fans, and a power distribution box, transferred more than a tonne of equipment via a Spacehab module, and reboosted the station's orbit before the long-delayed Zvezda service module arrived that summer.
