STS-127 Mission Overview
The 16-day mission will
feature five spacewalks and complete construction of the Japan Aerospace
Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory. Astronauts will attach a platform to the
outside of the Japanese module that will allow experiments to be exposed to
space.
The STS-127 crew members are Commander Mark Polansky, Pilot Doug
Hurley and Mission Specialists Dave Wolf, Christopher Cassidy, Tom Marshburn,
Tim Kopra and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Julie Payette. Kopra will join the
space station crew and replace Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata. Wakata will
