The U.S. space shuttle Endeavour has successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) at 03:49 GMT on Thursday (11:49 p.m. EDT, Wednesday).
The ISS Expedition 16 crew opened the docking hatches just after 05:00 GMT.
During the 12-day stay at the station, the visiting crew are expected to carry out five spacewalks to install the first component of the Kibo module and install the Dextre system.

After a full night of inspections, space shuttle Endeavour is making its way to the International Space Station.
The crew spent several hours overnight using a long boom camera to scan the entire surface of the orbiter. It is a procedure they take very seriously after the Columbia disaster in 2003.
NASA is paying close attention to the forward section of the shuttle. NASA said that 10 seconds into Endeavour's flight, they saw something fall toward the shuttle. But they are still not sure what it was or whether it actually hit the shuttle.
