The Space
Shuttle Endeavour lights up
the early morning sky at
NASA's Kennedy Space Center
in Florida, lifting off at
2:28 a.m. EDT on Tuesday,
March 11, 2008. Endeavour's
mission, STS-123, will carry
two new components to the
International Space Station:
the first section of the
Japanese Kibo lab and
Canada's two-armed robotic
system, known as Dextre.
Endeavour
will also deliver a new
station crew member, Garretr
Reisman, and bring back
European Space Agency
astronaut Leopold Eyharts,
who has been on the station
since Feb. 9, 2008. (See
