Before going to sleep this morning on the International Space Station, Endeavour spacewalker Bob Behnken and pilot Terry Virts will field questions about their week-old mission from three media outlets. You can watch the interviews live here starting at 6:04 a.m. EST -- just click here or on the NASA TV box on the right side of this page to launch a video player.
The interviews will be conducted by WOR Radio in New York City, KTVI-TV in St. Louis, Mo. and WREG-TV in Memphis, Tenn.
Earlier today, Virts helped steer the station's cupola to its permanent home on the bottom of the Tranquility module.
Behnken began preparing for his third spacewalk and the mission's last, which he's set to begin Tuesday night with partner Nick Patrick.
The astronauts and their four crewmates are scheduled to go to sleep at 8:14 a.m., a half-hour after the five station crew members.
Endeavour launched last Monday from Kennedy Space Center and docked at the station two days later. The shuttle is scheduled to depart Friday and return to KSC Sunday.
The joined shuttle and station crew of 11 has successfully added the last major addition to the station's U.S. segment -- Tranquility and its windowed cupola.
