This is Part 1 of a three part video series which provides highlights of the STS-108 mission during which the Expedition Three crew (Commander Frank Culbertson) of the International Space Station (ISS) was relieved by the Expedition Four crew (Commander Yury Onfrienko).

During this video, the STS-108 crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavour (Commander Dom Gorie), as well as the Expedition Four crew, are shown preparing for liftoff at Kennedy Space Center (KSC). Preparations include preflight suiting up, and the strapping in of the crew by support staff. The launch is shown from the Launch Control Center. Following the orbital entry of Endeavour, there is an inspection of the shuttle's payload bay. There is some flight deck activity as the crew prepares for the rendezvous and docking of Endeavour with the ISS. Following the docking, the Expedition Three crew welcomes the others aboard the station, and both crews are briefed. There is an unobstructed view of the South Atlantic Ocean and the coast line of Argentina which includes Peninsula Valdes and Golfo Nuevo. The Raffaello Multipurpose Logistics Module (MPLM) is unberthed from the shuttle payload bay and attached to the ISS.
