STS-108 Pilot Mark Kelly is seen during a prelaunch interview. He answers questions about the mission's goals and significance, explaining the meaning of 'utilization flight 1' (UF-1) as opposed to an 'assembly flight'. He gives details on the payload (Starshine Satellite, Avian Development Facility, and Rafaello Multipurpose Logistics Module (MPLM)), his role in the rendezvous, docking, and undocking of the Endeavour Orbiter to the International Space Station (ISS), how he will participate in the unloading and reloading of the MPLM, and the way in which the old and new resident crews of ISS will exchanged. Kelly ends with his thoughts on the short-term and long-term future of the International Space Station.
