KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, STS-124 Mission Specialist Michael Fossum (facing camera) gets hands-on experience with equipment that is part of the Kibo pressurized module. He and other crew members are at Kennedy for a crew equipment interface test that includes familiarization with tools and equipment that will be used on the mission, targeted for launch no earlier than April 24. The STS-124 mission is the second of three flights that will launch components to complete the Japanese pressurized module, the Kibo laboratory. The mission will include two spacewalks to install the new lab and its remote manipulator system. The lab's logistics module, which will have been installed in a temporary location during STS-123, will be attached to the new lab. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
