00:00:01,970 --> 00:00:03,280
\h        Allard Beutel/STS-130 Launch     
    Commentator: This is Shuttle Launch Control

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:08,970
\h         at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at T minus three hours and holding.

3
00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:11,930
\h        We are a little less than five hours and 15     
    minutes away from the launch of space

4
00:00:11,930 --> 00:00:17,980
\h         shuttle Endeavour on its STS-130 mission to the International Space Station.

5
00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:20,930
\h              
    This is Endeavour's second launch attempt in two days.

6
00:00:20,930 --> 00:00:24,880
\h        Although, given the time of day, it feels like it has been one long day for a lot of the flight

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,400
\h         controllers here at the Kennedy Space Center.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,610
\h        This morning at 4:30 a.m. Eastern, the first attempt was scrubbed just nine minutes before its

9
00:00:31,610 --> 00:00:38,170
\h        scheduled liftoff because low clouds unexpectedly rolled in over the Kennedy Space Center.

10
00:00:38,170 --> 00:00:41,180
\h        Currently, launch controllers are not working     
    any technical issues that would prevent us

11
00:00:41,180 --> 00:00:45,800
\h         from launching on time at 4:14 a.m. Eastern Monday.

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:53,560
\h        But forecasters are calling for a 40 percent chance of very similar conditions from last night --

13
00:00:53,560 --> 00:01:00,760
\h        low clouds again around the liftoff time to prevent liftoff tomorrow morning.

14
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,870
\h        Managers and engineers are directing and     
    monitoring Endeavour's countdown from

15
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:10,040
\h        Firing Room 4 here in the Launch Control Center, about 3 1/2 miles away from the shuttle.

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,490
\h        During the next five hours, we'll take a look at the STS-130 mission, its six astronauts,

17
00:01:15,490 --> 00:01:23,690
\h        and cargo, as well as follow along as launch controllers get Endeavour ready to start its 13-day flight to the space station.

18
00:01:23,690 --> 00:01:31,290
\h        During the STS-130 mission, astronauts will attach NASA's final major crew module to the station.

19
00:01:31,290 --> 00:01:38,090
\h        It's called the Tranquility node and attached to it is essentially a seven-pane bay window called a cupola that will give

20
00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:44,350
\h        crews a new location to control the station's robotic arm and will arguably sport the best views looking down at the

21
00:01:44,350 --> 00:01:48,600
\h        Earth and space from anywhere inside the orbiting laboratory.

22
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:54,380
\h        And we've gotten some questions about this just in case anyone has any NASA-related side bets about Super Bowl 44 that took

23
00:01:54,380 --> 00:02:00,060
\h        place tonight a couple hundred miles south of here, in Miami, Endeavour's crew did not watch the game,

24
00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:08,760
\h        but it was sent up to the International Space Station for the five Expedition 22 crew members to watch, if they so desired.

25
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,600
\h        Again, launch teams are not working any     
    issues right now that would prevent us from
