CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a crane lifts the canister containing the payload for space shuttle Endeavour’s STS-127 mission into the Payload Changeout Room. Endeavour’s rollaround from Pad 39B to Pad 39A is planned for May 30. The STS-127 payload includes the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo Exposed Facility and the Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section of the International Space Station. They will be installed on the Kibo laboratory already on the station. Launch of the STS-127 mission is targeted for June 13. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
