The six astronauts and one cosmonaut comprising the STS-100 crew assemble in the Pressurized Mating Adapter (PMA-2) while waiting to visit the Expedition Two crew and the International Space Station (ISS). With his arm extended to left foreground is astronaut Kent V. Rominger, STS-100 mission commander. In the circular arrangement of crew members, clockwise from Rominger's position, are astronauts Umberto Guidoni, Scott E. Parazynski, Chris A. Hadfield, Jeffrey S. Ashby and John L. Phillips. Cosmonaut Yuri V. Lonchakov's head emerges at bottom center. On the other side of the glass were the Expedition Two crew members--cosmonaut Yury V. Usachev and astronauts James S. Voss and Susan J. Helms. Lonchakov and Usachev represent Rosaviakosmos; Hadfield is with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and Guidoni is associated with the European Space Agency (ESA). The ten were beginning a day that went on to see the first opening of hatches linking the two spacecraft, an impressive first step by the station’s new Canadarm2 and the berthing to the station of Raffaello, the Italian-built logistics module. Hatch opening was set for 4 a.m (CDT), April 23.

Some of the principal participants of an historical event are pictured in the Destiny laboratory aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In the foreground is astronaut James S. Voss, with astronaut Chris A. Hadfield, STS-100 mission specialist, at center, and astronaut Susan J. Helms in the background. Voss and Helms are Expedition Two flight engineers. A Canadian “handshake in space” occurred at 4:02 p.m (CDT), April 28, 2001, as the Canadian-built space station robotic arm – operated by Helms – transferred its launch cradle over to Endeavour’s robotic arm, with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Hadfield at the controls. In this scene, Hadfield had temporarily vacated his post on Endeavour's aft flight deck and was having a brief strategy meeting with the Expedition Two crew on the docked station. The exchange of the pallet from station arm to shuttle arm marked the first ever robotic-to-robotic transfer in space.
