ISS Tranquility will eventually house the life support equipment necessary for the permanent crew of six. It will also accommodate ESA's Cupola observation module, a seven window dome-shaped structure from where the Space Station's robotic arm, Canadarm 2, will be operated and the crew will have a panoramic view of space. Scheduled for launch with Shuttle flight STS-130 in February 2010, Tranquility will be attached to the port side of Unity.
