<CLARI-ITEM STORY>
<P> HOUSTON, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- NASA says the International Space
Station's viewport in the recently installed Tranquility node is now
show/hide quoted text
facing Earth.</P>
<P> The cupola, installed during a spacewalk by space shuttle
Endeavour astronauts Kathryn Hire and pilot Terry Virts, provides a
panoramic view of the planet and of approaching space ships, NASA
show/hide quoted text
said.</P>
<P> "There was a minor delay in releasing the cupola," NASA said
in a statement. "The bolts attaching it to its launch position on
Tranquility had been torqued in Earth's gravity and were a little
tighter than expected. Flight controllers slightly increased the
show/hide quoted text
torque to release the bolts, resolving the problem."</P>
<P> The ISS and Endeavour crew members were to outfit the cupola
Monday, including making preparations for filling water lines and
for installation of a robotics workstation. The crew members are
expected to get their first look out the cupola now still-shuttered
windows after Tuesday's third scheduled spacewalk of Endeavour's
show/hide quoted text
stay at the station.</P>
