Beskrivning : Silk cachet showing EVA 2 of STS-111 from Quest with Franklin Chang-Diaz & Philippe Perrin.
The mission also installed a component of the Canadarm2 called the Mobile Base System (MBS) to the Mobile Transporter (MT).
This was the second componenet of the Canadian Mobile Servicing System, or MSS. This gave the mechanical arm the capability to "inchworm" from the U.S. Lab fixture to the MBS and travel along the Truss to work sites.

STS-111 was the last flight of a CNES astronaut, the French agency having disbanded its astronaut group and transferred them to the ESA.
