U.S. space shuttle Endeavour docked with the International Space Station (ISS) early Wednesday morning, said NASA.

Endeavour was launched on Monday morning from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It is delivering a new room and a seven-windowed dome observation deck for the ISS.

The new room, named Tranquility, and the observation deck will be installed on the station during three spacewalks on the shuttle's 13-day construction mission.

Tranquility will provide additional room for crew members and many of the space station's life support and environmental control systems.

This will be the last major construction job for the space station.
