At Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, STS-130 Mission Specialist Kathryn Hire responds to a question posed by a media representative during a question-and-answer session. From left are Commander George Zamka; Pilot Terry Virts; and Mission Specialists Kathryn Hire, Stephen Robinson, Nicholas Patrick and Robert Behnken.

The crew members of space shuttle Endeavour's upcoming mission are at Kennedy for training related to their launch dress rehearsal, the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test. The primary payload on STS-130 is the International Space Station's Node 3, Tranquility, a pressurized module that will provide room for many of the station's life support systems. Attached to one end of Tranquility is a cupola, a unique work area with six windows on its sides and one on top. Endeavour's launch is targeted for Feb. 7.
