No, it wasn't on this mission. There wasn't room due to the cargo specific to this mission.

I also was wondering how true the "we couldn't have done a thing" mantra was. The Progress resuply vessel was ready to go in Russia. Maybe a last minute change in payloads and trajectory could have sent this to the Columbia for resupply. Maybe that would have given them enough time until another shuttle could get up there. I also heard that the payload on the Columbia might have physically obstructed the airlock, so the astronauts could not have gotten out to do an EVA to look at damage or retrieve supplies. If this was the case, it isn't very good planning on their part. In the future they should have the little inspector cams on board to check for damage. NASA could also have some agreements with Russia in place for an emergency redirection of any rockets they have to provide emergency support for such a contingency. They could even have a couple of modules sitting around ready to go on top of a Russian,Ariane,Delta,Titan or Atlas booster just in case.

Thank you for your answers.
