Endeavour Space shuttle
Space shuttle Endeavour is planned to land at Florida 's Kennedy Space Center today with a touchdown at 10:48 a.m. The shuttle would begin its go down from orbit with a de-orbit engine firing at 9:42 a.m. Weather conditions at Kennedy Space Center are forecast to be positive for landing, although a minor chance of rain is possible. A second chance exists for a landing in Florida today, beginning with a de-orbit engine firing at 11:17 a.m. , leading to a 12:22 p.m. touchdown.
No other shuttle hall sites are being measured for today landing. If weather prevents a landing today, alternating landing sites would be called up for tomorrow's landing opportunities. Thursday, Endeavour Space shuttle Commander Mark Polansky and Pilot Doug Hurley checked out the systems the shuttle will use as it returns home, ruling everything in outstanding shape. The crew also deployed two pairs of little satellites from containers in the shuttle's payload bay.
