NASA astronaut Terry Virts, STS-130 pilot, is pictured in the hatch which connects the flight deck and middeck of space shuttle Endeavour in this photo released by NASA and taken February 10, 2010.
This image made available by NASA on Tuesday Feb. 9, 2010, shows Space Shuttle Endeavour as it approches the International Space Station. NASA engineers are studying two new problems on the orbiter. A thermal tile over the cockpit that was repaired before launch is cracked and a round ceramic spacer near one of the cockpit windows is sticking out. It will take NASA a couple of days to determine if repairs are needed
In this image provided by NASA the space shuttle Endeavour is seen flying above part of North Island, New Zealand, Tuesday Feb. 9, 2010 photographed by an Expedition 22 crew member onboard the International Space Station during rendezvous and docking operations with the space station. Docking occurred on Feb. 9, 2010

In this image from NASA TV space shuttle Endeavour Commander George Zamka gives the thumbs-up sign as he is strapped into his seat aboard the orbiter before the STS-130 crew's second launch attempt in as many days from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida February 8, 2010.
This image provided by NASA shows the immense Andromeda galaxy, also known as Messier 31, captured in full in this new image from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. NASA on Wednesday Feb. 17, 2010 released the first images from the instrument which spots celestial objects that give off infrared light. Andromeda is the closest large galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, and is located 2.5 million light-years from our sun.
A NASA image of the debris of an exploded star, known as supernova taken from NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Astronomers who have long used supernovas as cosmic mile markers to help measure the expansion of the universe now have an answer to the nagging question of what sparks the massive stellar explosions.

In the grasp of the Canadarm2, the Pressurized Mating Adapter 3 (PMA-3) is relocated from the Harmony node to the open port on the end of the newly-installed Tranquility node. NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Nicholas Patrick, both STS-130 mission specialists, operated the station's robotic arm for the move, while Jeffrey Williams, Expedition 22 commander; and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi, Expedition 22 flight engineer, dealt with latches and bolts, connecting the port to its new home.
