Space shuttle Endeavour is secured on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
On Jan. 19-21 the STS-130 astronauts will fly to Kennedy to participate in the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test, or TCDT, to familiarize themselves with the hardware and payload they'll be working with while on the mission.
Shuttle Endeavour and its crew will deliver a third connecting module, the Tranquility node, to the station and a seven-windowed cupola to be used as a control room for robotics. The mission will feature three spacewalks.
STS-130 is the 32nd shuttle mission to the station.
