CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the center's director, Bob Cabana, speaks during an employee celebration commemorating the 15th anniversary of the start of assembly of the International Space Station. Cabana served as commander of STS-88, the space shuttle mission that launched the first American-built element of the space station, beginning the effort to construct the orbiting complex. Also participating in the ceremony were STS-88 mission specialists Nancy Currie and Jerry Ross.      The Russian Space Agency's Functional Cargo Block, named "Zarya," was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Nov. 20, 1998. Two weeks later, on Dec. 4, 1998, the space shuttle Endeavour lifted off from Kennedy on STS-88 with node 1, called "Unity." In addition to Cabana, Curie and Ross, the crew also included pilot Rick Sturckow, along with mission specialists Jim Newman and Sergei Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Firing Room at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the successful launch of space shuttle Endeavour is applauded by Shuttle Launch Director Mike Leinbach (foreground), NASA Public Affairs Officer Mike Curie (left) and Endeavour Flow Director Dana Hutcherson  (right). Liftoff was on-time at 6:03 p.m. EDT. Today was the sixth launch attempt for the STS-127 mission.  The launch was scrubbed on June 13 and June 17 when a hydrogen gas leak occurred during tanking due to a misaligned Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate.  The mission was postponed July 11, 12 and 13 due to weather conditions near the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy that violated rules for launching, and lightning issues. Endeavour will deliver the Japanese Experiment Module's Exposed Facility and the Experiment Logistics Module-Exposed Section in the final of three flights dedicated to the assembly of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory complex on the International Space Station.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the center's director, Bob Cabana, cuts a 15th anniversary cake during an employee celebration commemorating the start of assembly of the International Space Station. Cabana served as commander of STS-88, the space shuttle mission that launched the first American-built element of the space station, beginning the effort to construct the orbiting complex. Also participating in the ceremony were STS-88 mission specialists Nancy Currie and Jerry Ross.      The Russian Space Agency's Functional Cargo Block, named "Zarya," was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Nov. 20, 1998. Two weeks later, on Dec. 4, 1998, the space shuttle Endeavour lifted off from Kennedy on STS-88 with node 1, called "Unity." In addition to Cabana, Curie and Ross, the crew also included pilot Rick Sturckow, along with mission specialists Jim Newman and Sergei Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Members of the media gather for a post-launch news conference held in the Press Site auditorium at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, following the successful launch of space shuttle Atlantis on its STS-135 mission to the International Space Station. Seen here are NASA Public Affairs Officer Mike Curie (left) moderator; Associate Administrator for Space Operations Bill Gerstenmaier, Kennedy Center Director Bob Cabana, Shuttle Program Launch Integration Manager Mike Moses, and Shuttle Launch Director Mike Leinbach.          Atlantis began its final flight at 11:29 a.m. EDT on July 8. STS-135 will deliver the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts for the International Space Station. Atlantis also will fly the Robotic Refueling Mission experiment that will investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing satellites in orbit. In addition, Atlantis will return with a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. STS-135 will be the 33rd flight of Atlantis, the 37th shuttle mission to the space station, and the 135th and final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the center's director, Bob Cabana, right, speaks during an employee celebration commemorating the 15th anniversary of the start of assembly of the International Space Station. Cabana served as commander of STS-88, the space shuttle mission that launched the first American-built element of the space station, beginning the effort to construct the orbiting complex. Participating in the presentation, from the left, are STS-88 crew members Nancy Currie, Jerry Ross and Cabana.      The Russian Space Agency's Functional Cargo Block, named "Zarya," was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Nov. 20, 1998. Two weeks later, on Dec. 4, 1998, the space shuttle Endeavour lifted off from Kennedy on STS-88 with node 1, called "Unity." In addition to Cabana, Curie and Ross, the crew also included pilot Rick Sturckow, along with mission specialists Jim Newman and Sergei Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut.
