> Italian-built segment will become a connecting point for future 
> laboratories built by the European and Japanese space agencies.

> the orbiting laboratory as part of the Expedition 16 crew. He will 
> replace Clayton Anderson, who launched to the station in June and 
> will return to Earth aboard Discovery. Tani will live and work on the 
> station until returning to Earth aboard space shuttle Atlantis on the 
> STS-122 mission, targeted to launch Dec. 6. Visitors to NASA's 
> shuttle Web site can read about the crew's progress and watch the 
> spacewalks live from the space station.
