At 2:24 a m CST on Feb 11, Massimino will host an interactive event with the crew from his console in Mission Control He will ask the astronauts as many submitted and live questions as practical during the 20-minute event The shuttle will be docked to the station during the live question and answer session The event with Endeavour's crew will be broadcast live on the Web and NASA Television

The public is invited to start tweeting questions for Endeavour's crew today to Massimino's Twitter account, @astro_Mike, or add the hashtag #askastro to their tweets

Endeavour's 13-day STS-130 mission will include three spacewalks and the delivery of the Tranquility node, the final module of the U S portion of the station Tranquility will provide additional room for crew members and many of the space station's life support and environmental control systems

Attached to Tranquility is a cupola, which houses a robotic control station and has seven windows The windows will provide a panoramic view of Earth, celestial objects and visiting spacecraft After the node and cupola are added, the orbiting laboratory will be approximately 90 percent complete
