Description: In the grasp of the Canadarm2, the cupola was relocated from the forward port to the Earth-facing port of the International Space Station's newly installed Tranquility node. The cupola is a robotic control station with six windows around its sides and another in the centre that will provide a panoramic view of Earth, celestial objects and visiting space-crafts. With the installation of Tranquility and cupola, the space station is about 90 percent complete.
