JustGav Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Will be the last scheduled night launch.. Endeavour's STS-130 Mission Commander George Zamka will lead the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station aboard space shuttle Endeavour. Terry Virts will serve as the pilot. Mission Specialists are Nicholas Patrick, Robert Behnken, Stephen Robinson and Kathryn Hire. Virts will be making his first trip to space. Shuttle Endeavour and its crew will deliver to the space station a third connecting module, the Italian-built Tranquility node and the seven-windowed cupola, which will be used as a control room for robotics. The mission will feature three spacewalks. Liftoff from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is scheduled for February 7, 2010, at 4:39 a.m. EST As usual will suggest the HD feed from http://www.spacevidcast.com/ since it is ahead of Nasa's own feed and clarity is MUCH higher.

Scott Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Imagine how much less it would take if they would just give the Brits the US bankroll. In fact, better just make that the Scots.... cut out the middle man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
