This view inside of the Italian-built Harmony Node 2 was taken soon after its arrival at Kennedy Space Center. The second of three International Space Station connecting modules, Harmony attaches to the end of the Destiny laboratory and provides locations to attach the Japanese laboratory, European laboratory and two modules.

This view inside of the Italian-built Harmony Node 2 was taken soon after its arrival at Kennedy Space Center. The second of three International Space Station connecting modules, Harmony attaches to the end of the Destiny laboratory and provides locations to attach the Japanese laboratory, European laboratory, the Centrifuge Accommodation module and Multipurpose Logistics modules. It will provide the primary docking location for the shuttle when a pressurized mating adapter is attached. Installation of the module will complete the U.S. Core of the station. Harmony will be attached during the STS-120 mission.Image Credit: NASA
