On Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Endeavour's payload bay doors are closing. At the bottom of the payload bay is the Integrated Cargo Carrier-Vertical Light Deploy (with the Space-to-Ground Antenna showing). In the middle is the Experiment Logistics Module-Exposed Section. At top is the Japanese Experiment Module's Exposed Facility. The STS-127 mission is the final of three flights dedicated to the assembly of the Japanese Kibo laboratory complex on the International Space Station. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller
