The cosmic stage was set for a new era in Canadian space exploration and scientific research aboard the International Space Station (ISS) when Space Shuttle Endeavour launched on flight STS-127. Endeavour and her crew of seven, including veteran Canadian astronaut Julie Payette, launched on July 15, 2009 and were undertaking a 16-day mission that included days of demanding construction work on the largest and most complex space project in the history. Endeavour hauled a cargo bay full of vital ISS components, Japanese and Canadian scientific experiments and fresh supplies.

Two American astronauts completed the installation during two space walks. Working inside the Shuttle, Garneau coordinated their activities. Successful installation of the P6 truss and the first set of solar panels was a critical step in construction of the Space Station.
