Space shuttle Endeavour -- the baby of NASA's orbiter fleet -- is poised to roll out to its Florida launch pad today to prepare for its last mission, a move that will come just hours after the shuttle Discovery returns home from a last flight of its own.
Endeavour is due to head out to the seaside shuttle launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral tonight at 8 p.m. EST (0100 March 10), about eight hours after Discovery's scheduled landing at a nearby runway.The only potential threat is the weather. An overnight storm expected at the space center could slow or postpone Endeavour's launch pad trip , space center officials saidNASA will televise and webcast Discovery's landing at 11:57 a.m. EST (1457 GMT) and Endeavor's last launch pad move live on its NASA TV channel.It should be a rare sight: There's Discovery, NASA's oldest flying shuttle returning to Earth after 13 days flying one final voyage before being retired, setting the stage for Endeavour, the fleet's youngest ...NASA abruptly called off space shuttle Endeavour's final launch Friday because of a puzzling heater failure in a critical power unit, disappointing huge crowds conve...
