  • 02/06/10: Updating 2/7 and 2/8 launch windows
  • 02/07/10: Updating to reflect launch delay to 2/8
    • Editor's Note:

    The launch window for STS-130 is 10 minutes long, roughly centered on the moment when Earth's rotation carries the launch pad into the plane of the space station's orbit. To optimize ascent performance, NASA targets the "in-plane" time.
