Description: In the grasp of the station's Canadarm2, the Tranquility module is transferred from its stowage position in space shuttle Endeavour's (STS-130) payload bay to position it on the port side of the Unity node of the International Space Station. Tranquility was locked in place with 16 remotely-controlled bolts. Earth's horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene.
