{description}   The Pressurized Mating Adapter (PMA)-2 for the International
                Space Station (ISS) awaits being mated with Node 1, the space
                stations structural building block, in KSCs Space Station
                Processing Facility. This PMA, identifiable by its bright red
                ring, is a cone-shaped connector to Node 1, which will have two
                PMAs attached once this mate is completed. The node and PMAs,
                which together will make up the first element of the ISS, are
                scheduled to be launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on
                STS-88.
