1 March 2003 00:00 GMT. (Cancelled flight). Alternate Name: ISS-6. Other Name: ISS-ULF1. Crew: Collins Eileen, Kelly, Noguchi, Robinson, Malenchenko, Kaleri, Lu. Program: ISS. Flight delayed after the Columbia disaster. STS-114 was to have been the seventeenth station flight (ULF1). It would have carried the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module and carried out a crew rotation (replacing the ISS EO-6 crew of Bowersox, Budarin, and Pettit with the Malenchenko, Kaleri, and Lu). Instead the EO-6 crew would return in May aboard the Soyuz TMA-1 lifeboat already docked to the station, being replaced by a new two-man emergency crew of Malenchenko and Lu (launched aboard Soyuz TMA-2). The mission was finally flown in July 2005 with Andrew Thomas, Lawrence, and Camarda flying instead of Malenchenko and Lu. No crew change was accomplished; instead the primary objective was to verify fixes to the shuttle external tank and test heat shield examination and repair techniques. Station resupply was accomplished, but was secondary.
