After low-lying clouds scrubbed the first attempt, STS-130 took off at 4:14 am in what is scheduled to be the last night launch of a space shuttle. The Space Task Force was on hand for the historic launch of Endeavour–as we will be for each of these ‘Final Five’ launches in 2010.
STS-130 is carrying the Tranquility module (formerly known as “Node 3”) along with the special multi-window “cupola” viewport. The crew of Endeavour will spend their first two days catching up to the space station before docking to start their mission.
The orbiter is scheduled to return to Kennedy Space Center Stay late on Feb 20 after 13 days in space. Stay tuned to the Space Task Force as we continue our extended mission coverage of STS-130 from rollout to the pad to rollout on the runway.

The 2007 X PRIZE Cup kicks off today at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, NM! This year the X PRIZE Foundation has teamed up with the Holloman air show to have a joint “Air & Space Expo” instead of two separate events.
One of the signature events at the Air & Space Expo will be the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, one of the NASA Centennial Challenges. Last year, only one competitor made it onto the field. This year there are rumors of up to nine teams competing for $2 million in prize money. The Space Task Force will give you updates after the competition. May the best teams win!
Until our next live feed, be sure to check out our video update from the launch of STS-120!

Space Shuttle Mission STS-120 is all fueled and waiting for launch! The Space Task Force has been busy working on the World Space Expo (coming up in only 9 days!) but we are taking a break to watch this amazing launch.
We’ll give you a quick update later today to discuss the launch and the latest space headlines. We’re still working out the technical requirements for our new video podcasts, so this may be a traditional audio-only recording.
Stay tuned as we prepare to launch here at the Kennedy Space Center!

“Roger, Houston. I have deployed the iPhone.
Now if I could just get it activated.”
Tim is back in studio to talk about his recent space adventures.
We also have a special guest from NASA’s Ames Research Center to talk about the role you can play in the NASA CoLab website.
My big question this week is – what if they’d had an iPhone during Project Apollo? Would we already be on Mars?
That and a Shuttle Launch Experience on this week’s SpaceTaskForce.

(as far as I know, NASA doesn’t endorse the iPhone, so apologies about the photo above…but still – it makes you wonder…)
