STS-130 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Endeavour. The mission launched on February 8, 2010, and was the twenty-second shuttle mission to visit the ISS. The primary objective of the mission was to deliver and install the Node 3 module, also known as the Tranquility module, and the Cupola observatory to the ISS. The Node 3 module provided additional living and working space for the ISS crew, while the Cupola observatory provided a 360-degree view of the Earth and space. The mission also included the delivery of supplies and equipment to the ISS and the rotation of the crew of the ISS.
The STS-130 crew consisted of six astronauts, led by Commander George Zamka. The crew also included Pilot Terry Virts and Mission Specialists Nick Patrick, Robert Behnken, Kathryn Hire, and Stephen Robinson.
During the mission, the crew of Endeavour successfully delivered and installed the Node 3 module and the Cupola observatory to the ISS. They also delivered more than 7,000 pounds of supplies and equipment to the station and rotated the crew of the ISS, bringing back the Expedition 23 crew and delivering the Expedition 24 crew to the station. The mission included three spacewalks to perform maintenance and repair work on the ISS.
The STS-130 mission was considered a success and helped to further the construction and expansion of the ISS. It marked the final mission of the Space Shuttle program to carry a module to the ISS.
