Endeavour arrived at the international space station Friday, boosting the population for now to a record 13. Before docking, the shuttle performed a backflip for space station cameras. NASA says the analysis is ongoing, but so far Endeavour looks to be in good shape for re-entry at the end of the month.
An unusually large amount of foam broke off Endeavour's fuel tank at liftoff, and some pieces dinged the shuttle.
