The Endeavor cruise group will add a new module called Tranquility to the space station and complete about 90% of ISS construction, Telegraph said.
This will be the last major assembly device for this space station worth about $ 100 billion. 16 countries have contributed to the development of ISS since 1998.
Tranquility is about 7 meters long and weighs 15 tons. This device consists of 7 glass vents and will help observers have the widest vision ever to earth and space.
This is the space shuttle's first flight since US President Barack Obama announced a new direction for NASA's ambition for space exploration. Before that, he canceled the project of manufacturing rocket and new generation of spacecraft to replace the space shuttle. Obama urged private companies to participate in bringing people to space.
