It takes the team three hours to fully assemble the telescopes and cameras, which can be monitored completely from a van equipped with several monitors. This telescope is powerful enough to capture images of the windows on the Space Station. The Space Shuttle Endeavour is due to land at Kennedy Space Center at 2:35 a.m. June 1, 2011.
