Space Shuttle in 1st 2010 Launch Campaign


STS-130 Endeavour is at the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center being readied for a Sunday, February 7 2010, 4:39 AM EST launch to the orbiting International Space Station. Endeavour's payload bay carries the docking Node 3 Tranquility Module. STS-130 will also bring the Cupola, a large window module and robotics work station to the ISS which will be attached to the side of Tranquility. Recent problems with Node 3's plumbing could delay the February 7 launch but no firm decision has yet to be made by NASA flight managers. STS-130 will be the first of the final five launches of the space shuttle program ending late this year.
