Endeavor
Delivers Final U.S. Module to SpaceStation
After a one-day delay due to clouds, Space
Shuttle Endeavour lit up the predawn sky at 4:14 a.m. EST
February 8 as it made its last scheduled launch in darkness.
The launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center began a 13-day
flight to the International Space Station and the final year
of shuttle operations. Now Space Shuttle Endeavour is home
after two weeks in space, having delivered the final US module
and a "room with a view" to the International Space
Station. STS-130 Commander George Zamka guided Endeavour to a
landing at the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility
at 10:20 p.m. EST to wrap up a 5.7-million-mile mission. Read
