(AP) - This Sunday 19 July 2009 photo provided by NASA shows the remote manipulator system (RMS) arm of the space shuttle Endeavour about to hand off the Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC) to the International Space Station, unseen. The astronauts used Endeavour's robot arm to lift a platform loaded with space station parts out of the shuttle Sunday morning. The next step was to hand the carrier off to the space station arm, then anchor it to the orbiting outpost. The 13-by-8-foot platform holds batteries that will be installed later in the week. Also stored on the carrier are an antenna, pump and drive system for the station's rail car. (AP Photo/NASA)
