Space shuttle Endeavour’s six astronauts are on their way to NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39A, catching a ride in the silver Astrovan. Prelaunch activities continue on schedule as teams prepare for Endeavour’s liftoff at 8:56 a.m. EDT.
The launch team is not tracking any issues at this point that would prevent an on-time launch and weather remains 70 percent "go" with only a slight chance for high crosswinds and low cloud ceilings at the Shuttle Landing Facility.
