At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, teams are conducting a launch countdown simulation today from Firing Room 4 in the Launch Control Center for space shuttle Endeavour’s STS-130 mission to the International Space Station.
Technicians continue to prepare the shuttle for its move, or rollout, from Kennedy’s Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A scheduled for Wednesday with first motion planned at 4 a.m. EST.
Endeavour’s six astronauts will spend the day practicing an integrated simulation rendezvous with the space station at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
