CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Up at the space station, the tenants are still getting used to having twice as many people around. Now, they’re getting seven house guests who will stay for nearly two weeks.
NASA is aiming to launch space shuttle Endeavour on Saturday morning on a space station construction mission that should complete a Japanese lab. The countdown began Wednesday.
The space station crew doubled to six last month, and when the shuttle pulls up with its crew of seven, there will be 13 people on board the station — the most people ever together in space at one time.
The astronauts will add the final segment to the Japanese lab, store spare parts outside and change out batteries.
