An overview of the STS-100 Endeavour mission is given through footage of each flight day. Scenes from flight days one through three show activities such as astronaut prelaunch procedures (breakfast, suit-up, and boarding Endeavour), the countdown and launch of the orbiter, and on-orbit activities, including the opening of the orbiter's payload bay doors, the checkout of the equipment to be used in the mission's spacewalks, and the rendezvous and docking of Endeavour with the International Space Station. A collection of views of the Earth from space include Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, Lake Erie and Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, the US Eastern Shore, Lake Manicouagan, Ile d'Anticosti, Gaspe Peninsula, Island of Newfoundland, Labrador, and the US West Coast. Additional shots show sunlight on the Indian Ocean, cloud cover over the Pacific Ocean, and a night view of an electrical storm over Africa.
