President Obama, congressional leaders and middle school students spoke with the astronaut crews of the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Endeavour at 5:14 p.m. EST Wednesday and congratulated them on their successful ongoing mission. The call took place from the Roosevelt Room of the White House.
Afterwards, crew members transferred and installed racks in the station’s new Tranquility node, reboosted the station using Endeavour’s thrusters, reconfigured spacesuits and passed the 75-percent mark of supply and equipment transfers between the two spacecraft.
