Space shuttle Endeavour lifts off into the night sky from Kennedy Space Center
Cape Canaveral, Florida, February 8, 2010 - An exhaust cloud builds at Launch Pad 39A as space shuttle Endeavour lifts off into the night sky from Kennedy Space Center. The primary payload for the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station is the Tranquility node, a pressurized module that will provide additional room for crew members and many of the stations life support and environmental control systems. Attached to one end of Tranquility is a cupola, a unique work area with six windows on its sides and one on top. The cupola resembles a circular bay window and will provide a vastly improved view of the stations exterior. The multi-directional view will allow the crew to monitor spacewalks and docking operations, as well as provide a spectacular view of Earth and other celestial objects

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when the space shuttle Endeavour embarks on its mission into the vast unknown. Illuminated against the night sky, a billowing exhaust cloud builds at Launch Pad 39A in Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The STS-130 mission to the International Space Station carries a crucial payload - the Tranquility node. This pressurized module will not only provide additional room for crew members but also house vital life support and environmental control systems. Attached to one end of Tranquility is an extraordinary work area known as a cupola. Resembling a circular bay window, this unique structure boasts six windows on its sides and one on top, offering astronauts an unparalleled multi-directional view of outer space. From monitoring spacewalks and docking operations to witnessing breathtaking views of Earth and celestial objects, this cupola promises to revolutionize their perspective. The image showcases Endeavour's horizontal liftoff from Launch Pad 39A with remarkable clarity and color. The smoke billows behind it as rocket boosters propel it forward with tremendous thrust. This action-packed scene epitomizes human spaceflight at its finest. Captured by Stocktrek Images, this photograph encapsulates both the excitement and grandeur of space travel while highlighting NASA's commitment to exploration beyond our planet's boundaries.
