Space Shuttle Endeavour STS-126 Launch - Live from Cape Canaveral Florida, Shuttle Endeavour blasts off on a 15-day flight to the International Space Station. Its four planned spacewalks will primarily focus on servicing the station's two Solar Alpha Rotary Joints, which allow its solar arrays to track the sun. The shuttle also will deliver a new crew member and bring back another after more than five months aboard the station.
