\"\"<\/a><\/span>Follow space shuttle Endeavour<\/span>'s exciting countdown to launch as Steve Siceloff<\/b> blogs from inside Firing Room 3 at the Launch Control Center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center<\/span>. Continuous coverage of the launch begins at 11 p.m. Sunday<\/b> for a launch attempt at 4:14 a.m. Monday<\/b>

George Zamka<\/span> leads the six-person crew on the mission to add the Tranquility module and a new \"window on the world<\/span>\" to the International Space Station<\/span><\/a>. Tranquility is the first new pressurized module to be carried to the orbiting laboratory since STS-124<\/span> took the pressurized section of the Japanese Experiment Module \"Kibo<\/span>\" to the station in June 2008. But station residents couldn't be blamed for looking forward most of all to the cupola Endeavour<\/span> will carry into space. Once at its place on the station<\/span>, the cupola will afford station crew members a place to comfortably sit among seven windows and watch the Earth spin below them. And they won't even have to wear a spacesuit<\/span>. from Kennedy<\/span>.<\/p>
