Shuttle Transportation System (STS) Mission 120 &

STS-120 is the 23rd shuttle mission to the International Space Station, and it will launch the Italian-build U.S. multi-port module, named the Harmony Node, for the station.  The Harmony Node will
increase the orbiting laboratory's interior space, providing attachment points for the European and Japanese laboratory modules to be launched in the future.  Click here for the official NASA
