May 25, 2010 - On June 5, astronaut Dr. Steve Robinson delivers a multimedia presentation about his February 2010 shuttle Endeavor mission STS-130 to the International Space Station, "Heavy Construction Made Weightless - Building the ISS." STS-130 was Robinson's fourth trip into space, where he served as the Flight Engineer and spacewalk operations officer for the flight.

The program is part of the Honeywell Explorer Lecture series at the Museum. The presentation is in the William M. Allen Theater at 2 p.m. and is free with Museum admission.

A veteran of three spacewalks himself, Robinson directed the spacewalks on STS-130 from inside the shuttle. He was also the chief mechanic for outfitting the new Tranquility node on the space station.

Tranquility is now the life-support hub of the ISS. The large, seven-windowed Cupola viewing-station was also installed on the ISS during this mission.

The non-profit Museum of Flight is one of the largest independent air and space museums in the world. The Museum's collection includes more than 150 historically significant air- and spacecraft, as well as the William E. Boeing Red Barn - the original manufacturing facility of the Boeing Co. The J. Elroy McCaw Personal Courage Wing displays 28 World War I and World War II aircraft from the United States and other countries including Germany, Russia, and Japan.

Over 30 aircraft representing the first century of aviation are displayed in the all-glass T.A. Wilson Great Gallery. The evolution of space flight and a look into the future are presented in the exhibit, Space: Exploring the New Frontier. The Airpark includes outdoor displays including the first jet Air Force One, a supersonic Concorde airliner and the prototype Boeing 747 jumbo jet. Interactive displays in The Flight Zone provide educational and entertaining activities for young children.

The Museum's aeronautical library and archival holdings are the largest on the West Coast. More than 140,000 students are served annually by the Museum's on-site and outreach educational programs--the most extensive museum-based youth aviation and space education program in the country. The Museum is the only air and space museum in Washington State that is both nationally accredited with the American Association of Museums and a Smithsonian affiliate.
