As reported in the Orlando press today, NASA managers on Wednesday cleared space shuttle Endeavour for launch on June 13 on a construction mission to the international space station. Commander Mark Polansky and his six crewmates are scheduled to lift off at 7:17 a.m. EDT from launchpad 39-A at Kennedy Space Center Florida. NASA managers cleared Endeavour's following a daylong Flight Readiness Review.
During the meeting, top NASA and contractor managers assessed the risks associated with the mission and determined the shuttle's equipment, support systems and procedures are ready for flight.
The 16-day mission will feature five spacewalks and complete construction of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory. Astronauts will attach a platform to the outside of the Kibo lab that will allow experiments to be exposed to the vacuum of space.
A wonderful gated community in Orlando. A fine selection of luxury vacation villas in Orlando Florida.
