	ISS Destiny
		The Destiny Laboratory was comprised of three cylindrical sections and two endcones that contained the hatches through which astronauts enter and exit the module.
		Destiny was shipped to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in 1998 and was turned over to NASA for pre-launch preparations in August 2000.
		Destiny had an optical quality window (principally for Earth science observations) and a window shutter to protect the window from potential micrometeoroid and orbital debris strikes during the life of the ISS.
