The highest priority objectives of the flight were the installation, activation and checkout of the Canadarm2 robotic arm on the station. Events 753 BC - Romulus and Remus found Rome ( traditional date) Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. Events 1429 - Joan of Arc arrives to relieve the Siege of Orleans. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. Events 1500 - Portuguese Navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral becomes the first European to sight Brazil. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. Events 1479 BC - Thutmose III ascends to the throne of Egypt, although power effectively shifts to Hatshepsut (according to Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. The Mobile Servicing System (MSS better known by its primary component Canadarm2, is a Robotic system and associated equipment on the International Space Station The operation of the arm is critical to the capability to continue assembly of the International Space Station, and was also necessary to attach a new airlock to the station on the subsequent shuttle flight, mission STS-104. An airlock is a device which permits the passage of people and objects between a Pressure vessel and its surroundings while minimizing the change of Pressure in the STS-104 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS flown by Space Shuttle ''Atlantis''. A final component of the Canadarm is the Mobile Base System (MBS), installed onboard the station during the STS-111 flight. STS-111 was a space shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS flown by Space Shuttle '' Endeavour''.

Other major objectives for Endeavour’s mission were to berth the Raffaello logistics module to the station, activate it, transfer cargo between Raffaello and the station, and reberth Raffaello in the shuttle's payload bay. Raffaello is the second of three Italian Space Agency-developed Multi-Purpose Logistics Module that were launched to the station. A Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM is a large pressurized container used on Space Shuttle missions to transfer cargo to and from the International Space Station The Leonardo module was launched and returned on the previous shuttle flight, STS-102, in March. STS-102 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS flown by Space Shuttle '' Discovery'' and launched from Kennedy Space

Remaining objectives included the transfer of other equipment to the station such as an Ultra-High Frequency communications antenna and a spare electronics component to be attached to the exterior during space walks. Finally, the transfer of supplies and water for use aboard the station, the transfer of experiments and experiment racks to the complex, and the transfer of items for return to Earth from the station to the shuttle were among the objectives.

Endeavour also to boosted the station's altitude and perform a flyaround survey of the complex, including recording views of the station with an IMAX cargo bay camera.

All objectives were completed without incident, and reentry and landing happened uneventfully on May 1. Events 305 - Diocletian and Maximian retire from the office of Roman Emperor.

During this mission, astronaut Chris Hadfield made the first spacewalk by a Canadian. Chris Austin Hadfield (born August 29, 1959) is a Canadian astronaut from the Canadian Space Agency who was the first Canadian to walk in space Extra-vehicular activity ( EVA) is work done by an Astronaut away from the Earth and outside of a Spacecraft.
