This is the last scheduled nighttime launch for the Space Shuttle program. HDNet's coverage, LIVE from the Kennedy Space Center, will be hosted by "World Report" correspondent Greg Dobbs. Joining Dobbs live will be NASA astronaut Mike Foale and Fred Gregory of the Coalition for Space Exploration. The mission of Endeavour and her crew will be to deliver the last connecting module to expand the International Space Station - the Italian-built "Tranquility" node. "Tranquility" will provide additional room for many of the station's life support and environmental control systems. "Tranquility" is among four additional modules on the station: the Destiny laboratory, the Quest airlock, the Unity node and the Harmony node. The Endeavour crew will conduct three spacewalks lasting approximately 6.5 hours in length during their mission. The mission takes place at a time when Congress and the Obama Administration are re-assessing the entire future of NASA's manned space program.
