Endeavour's Launch Countdown Preps Continue
Fri, 22 Apr 2011 05:40:53 AM PDT
Technicians on Kennedy's Launch Pad 39A carry out the final testing of systems in space shuttle Endeavour's aft section today for its schedule launch in one week.
Pressurization of Endeavour's various propulsion systems was completed yesterday and its aft 50 1/2 foot doors were installed for flight last night. Technicians are scheduled to get the weekend off before beginning prelaunch countdown preparations on Monday.
At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Endeavour's six astronauts have administrative work to do today before going into quarantine tonight. They fly to Kennedy Tuesday morning for their final prelaunch preps.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!
Like the lads above I saw this amazing sight
the last time.
We are SO lucky to get to see this again!!
History in the making.
I'm gonna see can we get a bunch of
people together in the club to observe this.
Please, please, please lets habe clear skies!
Dunno if I'd bother photographing it, maybe a
long exposure wide field shot.
I just wanna give it my full attention.
Did I mention how Awesome this is?
