Flight Day 1

Not long after the opening of the payload bay doors on space shuttle Endeavour, the crew was able to get a first look at cargo and hardware located in the bay from windows on the aft flight deck. Visible in this image are the Canadian-built remote manipulator system's robot arm, the docking system which will have a major role in the following day's docking with the International Space Station, and the Italian-built Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo en route to its fifth visit to the orbital outpost.
