The STS-118 crew strides out of the Operations and Checkout Building eager to get to Launch Pad 39A for launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour at 6:36 p.m. EDT. Seen here are (left to right) Mission Specialists Alvin Drew, teacher-turned-astronaut Barbara R. Morgan, and Dave Williams, who represents the Canadian Space Agency. The STS-118 mission is the 22nd shuttle flight to the International Space Station. It will continue space station construction by delivering a third starboard truss segment, S5, and other payloads such as the SPACEHAB module and the external stowage platform 3. The 11-day mission may be extended to as many as 14 depending on the test of the Station-to-Shuttle Power Transfer System that will allow the docked shuttle to draw electrical power from the station and extend its visits to the orbiting lab.
