    Nice to see , another part of the ISS !

    http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0912/17mrmarrival/

    The Mini-Research Module 1 arrived at the Shuttle Landing Facility at about 1 p.m. EST aboard an Antonov 124 cargo plane, completing a nearly 6,000-mile journey from Moscow. MRM 1 is named Rassvet, which means dawn in Russian. It was built by the Russian aerospace company Energia.

    Rassvet will launch aboard the shuttle Atlantis' STS-132 mission scheduled for liftoff May 14.

    Day time average is around 20 degrees celcius,low temp around 10 degrees. It can drop to freezing,look at the freezing temps that blighted Challenger in late january '86. This is an early morning launch,around 04.30 i think. As of this moment it's the last night launch of the shuttle manifest.

    Endeavour is due to rollover from the OPF to the VAB in the next couple of weeks to be mated with her ET&SRBs. She'll spend christmas in the VAB and will roll out to 39a early in the new year.
