A wide range of scientific experiments are carried out on it. Various countries have access to it with their staff, and many other countries send experiments to be carried out on it. So science and research is its real mission. It is also a stepping stone to having more space stations and eventually some on the Moon and even Mars.
Astronaut Robert Curbeam, a native of Turner Station, completed his second mission in space in January 2001. He served as a mission specialist on Space Shuttle Endeavour's STS-98 mission to the International Space Station.
The Turner Station native you are referring to is astronaut Robert Curbeam. He completed his second mission in space aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis in January 2001, during the STS-98 mission to the International Space Station.
The cosmonaut traveled to the International Space Station for a research mission.
The International Space Station typically accommodates a crew of six people. However, this number can vary slightly depending on the specific mission and circumstances.
Atlantis was the last space shuttle, But the mission was STS-135

There has not been a mission designated '201'. Maybe you meant STS-120, in which case their mission destination was the International Space Station.

It is named the International Space Station or ISS.

Astronauts train for a space mission to the International Space Station by undergoing simulations of spacewalks, living in confined spaces, using the station's robotic arm, operating spacecraft systems, and conducting scientific experiments. They also train in underwater environments to simulate the weightlessness of space and work closely with their crewmates to prepare for the mission.
The main mission of the space shuttle program was to provide transportation for both astronauts and supplies, to and from the international space station. There were several other missions as well.

Julie Payette went into space in 1999 as part of the STS-96 mission on the space shuttle Discovery. She was a mission specialist for this flight to the International Space Station.
The International Space Station is continuously working on scientific research and experiments in various fields such as biology, physics, and astronomy. Astronauts are also conducting maintenance tasks on the station to ensure its smooth operation. Additionally, there might be cargo resupply missions or spacewalks happening during the current mission.
