24 July 2003 00:00 GMT. (Cancelled flight). Other Name: ISS-12A.1. Crew: Wilcutt, Oefelein, Curbeam, Fuglesang, Foale, McArthur, Tokarev. Program: ISS. Flight delayed after the Columbia disaster. STS-116 was to have flown ISS Assembly mission ISS-12A.1. It would have delivered the third left-side truss segment (ITS P5), logistics and supplies aboard a Spacehab single cargo module. The crew would have attached the P5 truss segment to the P3/P4 second port truss segment; deactivated and retracted the P6 Truss Channel 4B (port-side) solar array; reconfigured station power from the 2A and 4A solar arrays; and delivered the EO-8 Expedition Eight crew (Foale, McArthur, Tokarev) to the station and returned the EO-7 Expedition Seven crew (Malenchenko, Kaleri, and Lu) to Earth. Instead Malenchenko and Lu were to have been delivered to the ISS by Soyuz TMA-2 and Foale and Kaleri would make up the Soyuz TMA-3 crew that would replace them.

The mission was finally flown in December 2006. By then Polansky had replaced Wilcutt as commander, and Patrick was added. No full replacement crew to the ISS was brought up in the actual final mission. Instead astronaut Williams was brought up and left at the station, and German astronaut Reiter was returned to earth. The long-term resident crew on the station was relying on the Soyuz as a safety measure.
