Mission STS-127

Canadian Space Agency astronaut Julie Payette launched successfully aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour on July 15th to 31st, 2009 and returned to the International Space Station.

On flight day 4, a platform was attached to the outside of the space station's Japanese Laboratory Kibo. Science experiments will take place on this platform, allowing them to remain exposed to the harsh environment of space.

The astronaut crew also delivered critical supplies to the Station, as well as experiments that will be subsequently berthed to the laboratory platform.
