Astronaut Eric Boe, STS-126 pilot, exercises on the bicycle ergometer on the middeck of space shuttle Endeavour. Boe occupies the pilot's station on the forward flight deck of the Endeavour during rendezvous and docking operations with the International Space Station. Astronauts Shane Kimbrough (foreground), STS-126 mission specialist; and Boe refer to checklists as they work controls on the aft flight deck of the Endeavour during flight day three activities.

Launch Pad 39A is drenched in light as space shuttle Endeavour cuts into the night sky at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, beginning mission STS-126 to the International Space Station. It's a brilliant sight as space shuttle Endeavour begins its climb from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, beginning mission STS-126 to the International Space Station. Crew members for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission stride out of the Operations and Checkout Building and head for the Astrovan that will take them to Launch Pad 39A.
