Space Shuttle Endeavour was launched at 10:14 CET, 8 February 2010, and is heading for the International Space Station carrying two sophisticated European modules: Node-3 (Tranquility) and Cupola. Their installation will mark the completion of the non-Russian part of the ISS, with more than a third of the pressurised Station elements designed and built in Europe.

NASA's Kennedy Space Center provided an opportunity for the media to see the newest section of the International Space Station, the Tranquility node. Tranquility is a pressurised module that will provide room for many of the Station's life support systems. Managers from NASA, the ESA, Thales Alenia Space and Boeing - the organisations involved in building and processing the module for flight - were available for a question-and-answer session during the event. Tranquility will be delivered to the Station by Space Shuttle Endeavour on the STS-130 mission, scheduled for launch in February 2010.
