Video highlights of the first of three spacewalks of the STS-131 mission.

Beautiful images in and outside of the Cupola module. First we have Astronaut Nicholas Patrick viewed outside of the space station during the third and final spacewalk on February 13th. The Second image is also Astronaut Nicholas Patrick, this time viewed inside the Cupola module looking out. The last image, is a stunning image of Endeavour viewed from Cupola. Absolutely amazing view of the earth as well, enjoy!

Remember, Endeavour undocks from the International Space Station tomorrow. Oh, and the second and third image are both from the 18th if anyone was interested.

Today is the last day that the STS-130 crew will spend attached to ISS, with undocking from station at 7:54 p.m. EST. Below are video highlights of Flight day 10 and 11.

High definition video of the installation of Tranquility to the Unity module. No sound throughout much the video, but worth watching just the same.

Earlier today we saw the first docking to the Poisk module, also known as the Mini-Research Module 2. On the 14th of this month, cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Maxim Suraev prepared the module for spacecraft docking and below is an image of Oleg Kotov from that spacewalk.
