CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Orbiter Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, STS-127 Mission Specialists Tom Marshburn and Christopher Cassidy and Pilot Doug Hurley get a close look at equipment that will be used on the mission to the International Space Station. The crew members are at Kennedy for a crew equipment interface test, which provides hands-on training and observation of shuttle and flight hardware. Endeavour will deliver the Japanese Experiment Module's Experiment Logistics Module-Exposed Section, or ELM-ES, to the space station on STS-127. Launch is targeted for mid-June, 2009.
