Media event in the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida

During a media event in the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to showcase the newest section of the International Space Station, the Tranquility node, Director of the ISS and Spacecraft Processing Directorate Russell Romanella (center) talks with two of the astronauts who will deliver Tranquility to the space station on the STS-130 mission, Mission Specialist Kay Hire and Commander George Zamka. Managers from NASA, the European Space Agency, Thales Alenia Space and Boeing -- the organizations involved in building and processing the module for flight -- were available for a question-and-answer session during the event. Tranquility is a pressurized module that will provide room for many of the station's life support systems. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann
