credit ESA / caption: another major module for station is ready to go
Tomorrow Hyperbola will be attending the Tranquility Node 3 departure ceremony from Thales Alenia Space's Turin facility and so expect some live twittering and maybe a podcast (and even video) come Monday, hopefully with NASA International Space Station (ISS) programme manager Michael Suffredini and European Space Agency human spaceflight director Simonetta Di Pippo
The above graphic shows the ISS Node 3 Tranquility in
While on 20 May US journalists will get to see Tranquility upon its arrival at Kennedy Space Center and ESA that day will be announcing its new astronauts

Rob, the image is out of date; N3 is now on the port side of N1, opposite Quest. Cupola will be launched on the end of N3, then moved to the Nadir CBM.
PMA 3 goes to N1 Nadir.

And it is from an active ESA website page! Shame! Or maybe I should just keep up to date on ISS configurations... Expect more Node 3 stuff soon
