Space walkers integrated the recently docked Russian Zvezda Service Module with the rest of the International Space Station. The robot arm assisted them with transferring equipment from the shuttle payload bay to the Zarya Control Module. The crew then translated to the Zvezda where they assembled a magnetometer boom. Nine power, data and communications cables were routed and connected between Zarya and Zvezda.
