The Space Shuttle Endeavour and its six member crew are just a few minutes into their 13 day mission to the ISS!
The Endeavour rocketed into space in a brilliant early morning launch at KSC at 4:14:08 am punching through a thin layer of clouds on it's way to the ISS. Endeavour lifted off on time, after yesterday morning's scrub do to a low cloud ceiling. STS-130 is delivering the Tranquility Node 3 and the cupola that will allow virtually a 360 degree view of space from the ISS. The cupola will be used as a control room for robotics. The mission will feature three spacewalks.
This is the 24th flight of Endeavour.
NASA Television will broadcast a post-launch news conference from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at no earlier than 5:15 a.m. Click Here to watch.
