February 8, 2010, Endeavor launched successfully with six crew members to deliver the last pieces of the International Space Station. Under the command of George D. Zamka and pilot Terry Virts (Maryland native!), Endeavor rendezvoused with the ISS on the second day. The Cupola was one of the main cargo items, a robotic control station with six windows on its sides and another in the middle, which gives a 360° view of the station.
Mission specialists Nicholas Patrick and Robert Behnken performed 3 EVA's during the flight. Endeavor landed February 15 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
