STS-106 launch mass is 115257 kg; landing mass is 100366 kg. At TI, orbiter mass was 112261 kg; after undocking 105536 kg. The loaded ICC is 2054 kg (1300 kg of cargo) and the Spacehab is 8200 kg.
2449 kg of cargo including 354 kg of water were transferred to ISS. 430 kg were returned from ISS. Of this, 1995 kg up and 358 kg down were in Spacehab, so 364 kg + 90 kg EVA from STS to ISS, 72 from ISS to STS. 590 kg of cargo were transferred from Progress to ISS. About 90 kg of equipment was installed by EVA, Spacehab mass without up cargo is then 6205.
The main purpose of the 2A.2b flight was to kit out the newly arrived Zvezda module with basic equipment so that it can serve as living quarters for Expedition One. Fire extinguishers and gas masks will be activated. Lu and Malenchenko made a spacewalk to hook up cables from Zvezda to Zarya, and to install a magnetometer on Zvezda. They would reach 33m from the airlock, a record distance for a US tethered spacewalk. Morukov will unload supplies from Progress M1-3. The crew will install three batteries in Zvezda and replace two in Zarya, and install power conversion units to enable the Russian segment to use power from the US solar arrays.
Delivered aboard the Spacehab will be part of the CheCS (Crew Health Care System), a treadmill and a bicycle ergometer, as well as water and supplies. A toilet will also be added to Zvezda. An experimental PCG dewar will be placed on the ISS for later retrieval.
The ICC carries the SHOSS box and the SOAR (DTO700-21) GPS attitude determination system.
The Bay 13S GABA carries two GAS canisters with high school experiments, SEM-8 and G-782.
Orbiter OV-104 Atlantis was launched from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39B on 2000 Sep 8 at 1245:47 UTC. The solid rocket boosters, serial RSRM-75, were jettisoned at about 2 minutes after launch at an altitude of around 50 km. The orbiter, still connected to the external tank, flew up the east coast of the US.
At 1253 UTC the main engines shut down (MECO) and ten seconds later external tank ET-103 separated. The Shuttle and ET-103 were then in a 72 x 328 km x 51.6 deg transfer orbit. ET-103 will reenter over the Pacific after one orbit; the Shuttle fired its OMS engines at apogee to circularize its own orbit.
One of two star trackers on Atlantis failed, making navigation slightly trickier, but the docking was carried off flawlessly over Kazakstan.
Following the EVA, the crew installed equipment in Zvezda including the toilet and the TVIS treadmill.
