CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In the Training Auditorium at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Kennedy employees wait their turns to receive the autographs of space shuttle Endeavour's STS-130 crew members. In the blue flight suits, seated from left, are Mission Specialists Robert Behnken, Nicholas Patrick and Kathryn Hire; Pilot Terry Virts; Commander George Zamka; and Mission Specialist Stephen Robinson. The autograph-signing session followed a program for Kennedy employees in which the crew talked about their experiences on the mission. Endeavour launched Feb. 8, 2010, and landed Feb. 21. During Endeavour's STS-130 mission, the crew installed the Tranquility node, a module that provides additional room for crew members and many of the station's life support and environmental control systems. Attached to Tranquility is a cupola with seven windows that provide a panoramic view of Earth, celestial objects and visiting spacecraft. STS-130 was the 24th flight for Endeavour, the 32nd shuttle mission devoted to ISS assembly and maintenance, and the 130th shuttle mission.
