In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, workers connect cables to the Kibo Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section, or ELM-ES. The ELM-ES will be moved to a work stand. The ELM-ES is one of the final components of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory for the International Space Station. It can provide payload storage space and can carry up to three payloads at launch. In addition, the ELM-ES provides a logistics function where it can be returned to the ground aboard the space shuttle. The ELM-ES will be carried aboard space shuttle Endeavour on the STS-127 mission targeted for launch May 15, 2009. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
