Crew: Commander Mark Polansky, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Dave Wolf, Christopher Cassidy, Canadian Space Agency's Julie Payette, Tom Marshburn and Tim Kopra.
Mission Highlights:
The mission delivered Timothy L. Kopra to the station as a flight engineer and science officer and returned Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata to Earth. Hurley, Cassidy, Marshburn and Kopra made their first trips to space.
Endeavour set sail on its 23rd mission with the Kibo Japanese Experiment Module Exposed Facility and Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section. The facility provides a type of "front porch" for experiments in the exposed environment, and a robotic arm that is attached to the Kibo Pressurized Module and is used to position experiments outside the station. The mission included five spacewalks.
STS-127 was the 29th shuttle mission to the International Space Station.

STS-127 is a Dusk Endeavor in honor of its evening launch and the "front porch" it delivered to the International Space Station, described in the Mission Highlights above. Because dusk is a lovely time to enjoy your front porch. On earth, anyway!
