Space shuttle Endeavor pulled up to the international space station and docked Wednesday, kicking off almost two weeks of demanding construction work.Before the late-night linkup. Endeavor’s commander, Dominic Gorie, （1）the shuttle through a 360-degree backflip to allow for full photographic surveillance.It’s one of the many safety-related （2） put in place following the Columbia tragedy in 2003.The space （3 ） crew used cameras with high-powered zoom leases to photograph Endeavor （4） nose to tail, especially all the thermal tiles on （5）belly.
