NASA Space Shuttle



Members at NASA's Kennedy Space Center have started preparations for space shuttle to launch. Endeavour’s six-man crew members are planned to fly into the Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday afternoon. It will be live telecast on NASA TV. Endeavour's launch has been getting a lot of attention, with planned visits by U.S President Barack Obama.



Scheduling conflicts at the International Space Station forced NASA to push the mission forward by 10 days, to Friday, April 29. Still, the astronauts squeezed in a few days of dress rehearsals, including practice countdowns and escape drills. This morning, a pre-countdown status briefing also will be held live on NASA TV at 10 a.m.
